My Ram got 18 on the highway at 75 MPH over three steep mountain
passes both directions in fully stock trim. I've added a K&N, added a
few extra PSI to the tires, and will be buying a tonneau cover before
I make the same trip this weekend. I'm hoping to top 20 MPG, all that
with right around 400 HP.....not too bad.
