RHO range and MPG

[BTB123]

This is not getting enough attention, IMO.

It is why I ordered a RHO in the first place and I would own it if Ram didn’t screw up the ordering process.

2600 miles I’m averaging around 14.3. I got up to 14.9 but stopped babying it so much now it’s around 14.3. Hopefully it will go up another mile or 2 in the summer but sounds like I’m getting better than most already.

Ram flat out lied on their website on fuel economy and probably gained many additional orders because of it.

I don't regret mine, but I probably would've thought about it a bit more and weighed a used TRX more seriousoy had they been transparent.

But I guess more holistically the supposed reason they ditched the big V8 was for fuel economy compliance. If they're nearly the same anyway I really don't understand the decision

I am averaging 11.5mpg at best, to compare, my '22 TRX was 10.5mpg. I have no idea how a 6 cylinder turbo motor has very little MPG improvement over a 6.2l supercharged V8 lol

I was averaging just under 10mpg in my TRX, now getting about 11.5 in my RHO. I do have very heavy Falken tires though. I also agree, idk how there isn't a bigger difference in MPG.

 

[just a engineer]

I'm getting 13.8 mpg with 1500 miles. I'm in SC so I don't think we use winter gas.

 

[Attakracer]

From a scientific standpoint it should get WAY better than the TRX, but apparently it doesn't ! Not much suprise there. Its a cool truck and cool means shitty gas milage !!!!!! Fill it up when its empty and enjoy it !!

Does Ram actually come up with the numbers? I thought the EPA has to either determine it or at least certify the mileage that the OEM suggests? I didn't realize just lying was an option. If it is, I'm not sure why everyone doesn't do it - not many (like us) that spend time on forums discussing mileage down to the 10th before buying!

Well what ram did before they would get certified on regular 2wd lightest pickup with lowest gear ratio and set mpg for all trucks at that. Eventually they downgraded rebel mpg down the road. They also do tests in best time environment and low mph so numbers look great. My 22 ram 1500 had rating off 17/22 city/highway actual numbers were more like 14 city 17 highway and with 35s and level 13 city 15.5 highway.

My rho actually just gotten almost 1mpg better after first tank with 2k+ miles. 418 miles / 28.381 gallons 14.728 mpg. I am super happy with this numbers especially so close to my 5.7 hemi with 35s and the thing was slow. Also I'm in California and maybe all you in cold climate and winter fuel seeing much worse numbers for now.

Getting 14.9 in my 22 TRX

Jokes aside I get about 12.5 mixed or at 85mph on the highway. This is at altitude (about 6000 ft).

That's not bad at all mine was always around 10.5 could only touch 12 on long trips.

When I had mine I got like 10-10.5, less if I was really getting on it and 13ish on the highway downhill in a tail wind

I've found the altitude is good for a few points. When I go down to Texas I usually lose 1-2 mpg.

I just got 14.2 on a tank this morning. I have 5k on the truck. live in the northeast where it was cold when we first got the truck. was averaging 12.5 The weather is starting to warm up and my mileage has improved a little with that. my guess is this truck will average for me (80% highway 20% sport/baha fun!) 15 in the warmer weather with better gas. my limited with 33s Ridge Grapplers was getting 16/17. Id be happy with 15. I didn't have a TRX but 10 seems to be what I've heard. 15 would be 50% better then that

I'm in the tri-state area at 5500 miles, I've noticed the same exact thing

What fuel octane grade are you guys running?

 

[gram10]

What fuel octane grade are you guys running?

93

 

[RamFan]

93 here too and with the tune....our MPG is dropping....Im not sure if it has anything to do with trying to get up to the speed limit as quickly as possible or not.....

how is that tune going? is diablo sport taking logs from you and sending revisions?

Absolutely love it!! There is an app that piggybacks the main app and sends them the logs. No revisions as of yet...
