2009 Dodge Ram - Fuel Economy, Hypermiling, EcoModding News and Forum

Howdy from Texas! I have been reading the eccomodder forum for some time now and I am excited about what everyone on here is about. I just downsized from a v8 to a v6. On my first tank of fuel I averaged 21.6 mpg. That is exciting to me. As most everyone else I want more, yet I am not ready to drive something small. I would like to make some of the aero changes listed on eccomodder as finances allow. Great to join y'all.

Frank, should we point him/her to the ongoing big truck thread? ;-)

Sure. Can't hurt.

I've averaged a bit north of that during summer with my 01 2wd 318 dodge 1/2 tonner, depending on if you have a MT or Auto you should be able to do better keeping it slow. And no I didn't mod anything.
