@@PMPerformance you’re welcome! This truck has about 16,000 miles a very clean and seems like a decent price. The dealer is asking $51,999. Not sure if it is worth going for it or for a new one. Thanks again brother!
Thanks for the vid. I have a 2019 RAM with 3.92 and factory 22's. My hwy mileage is much better than my previous truck, 09 F150/5.4/3.55's. My around town gas mileage is in the 14's and hwy is 18/19/20 depending on my mood. It's a truck that feels great with the 3.92! If i wanted or needed Prius mileage, i would have bought a Prius. LOL. What i lose in mileage I gain in smiles. Great truck.
Pretty good mileage. While I don’t agree about smiles, and gas mileage, this isn’t bad for a v8 with steep gears. I’m a sports car /sport sedan guy, so driving a truck doesn’t make me smile. Lol. It’s just a necessity unfortunately
No smiles, then your not driving it right😂. I’ve had many performances cars, last one being a vette. I have/had a truck, 2 bikes, and the vette. Couldn’t drive them all. So I’ll take the little smiles from the truck until my next performance car.
Everything could play a factor in gas mileage on a road trip, headwinds, tailwind, crosswind how much fuel is in the tank because that is weight, temperature, etc...my 2015 express 5.7 extended cab always get 21-22 on road trips but I have the 3.21 gears which are great for lightly loaded road trips...
It’s a common misconception, cruise control does get worse gas mileage, it was never meant for improving MPG’s but a convenience to eliminate fatigue on long trips
2022 ram limited with 3.21 gears, drives great, good power but mpg is around 13.5 in city and 17/18 on highway which is much lesser than the epa and particularly for 3.21s
I just bought a 22 hemi etorque I hope the mileage improves once it gets broke in. I traded in a 19 regular hemi that I put 92k on and I easily saw 20 mpg on the highway
Was considering getting a new truck with one of these engines but can't justify losing that much mpg. My Laramie Limited EcoDiesel with 35's and 355 gears, GDE tuned ECU, and SFT trans tune I get 29mpg hand calculated at 70mph.
Yea you can’t come remotely close to an eco Deisel to a v8. In the same token you won’t tow as much or have the same getup and go. I was considering a Silverado Denali eco Deisel before this and was concerned I would give up too much for gas mileage.
@Deke1 I do kind of like it for long highway trips, but I stopped using it as it’s a little agressive. If it toned down a bit, it would be perfect. I rather have it than not have it though for sure!
2021 1500 Bighorn 3:21 gears and 4K miles and I’m averaging about 13.2 and highway I might get 15.2. I’ve tried every brand of gas and from 87-93 octane and nothing is improving it.. not sure why it’s so bad, even baby the gas pedal. When I tow my travel trailer that’s 22 feet and 4K pounds I average 10mpg on the highway.
Hey dude, really good review! Yes, the cruise control doesn't care about fuel mileage, only getting you back to speed and keeping you there regardless of hills or whatever. I also didnt know that gas quality up north suffered based upon time of year. I knew there were other reasons I never wanted to go visit. Just kidding, but seriously....
Thanks man. Yea the gas quality suffered terribly when it gets colder out. Same with with E85. Shit deff makes me want to move down south. Lol. Thanks for watching. Hope you found the video informative or atleast amusing. Lol
@@PMPerformance I did enjoy it. I just ordered a brand new 2022 Laramie from the factory with etorque and cant wait to get it. I'm subscribed so keep up the vids!
Yeah adaptive cruise control still doesn’t know when to “coast” it out. When they create a system that goes 0 throttle (especially downhill) that would be ideal and your numbers would be better I bet. Definitely making me feel I didn’t miss out by opting for the 5.7 non e torque. Best I’ve gotten is about 18 all highway. Learning the sweet spots though. Added KN air filter as well so hope that helps on the longer trips a little
Cruise control will never be fuel efficient. It will keep your speed up and down hills and a real driver would speed up going down hill and coast a bit uphill with momentum or simply go a little slower up hill.
If you have adaptive, yes. And sure, mountainous areas, yea. But if you're on relatively flat ground or just hilly, cruise control will do better with fuel efficiency.
I get way better gas mileage not using cruise control also. I just bought a 2021 etorque ram about 4 weeks ago. About a week or so after my previous comment. I'm able to get 2 mpg not using cruise control. Though I will probably still use it on road trips. I think you are absolutely right. When the truck accelerates with cruise, it really ramps up the speed instead of easing into it. I can't tell the breaking so much. I'll have to give it more time.
Yea, I just took a 6 hr road trip and tried using the ACC again. My wife was yelling at me each time it sped up and jammed on the brakes. I told her I don’t program the ECU logic. Lol. She just thought I was driving like a dick. Ram could easily adjust the ramp up if they wanted to. Congrats on the new truck!
Thanks for this vid. I'm real torn between the powerboost platinum and the ram limited. I feel like the 24 city of the powerboost is worth its weight in gold. Even if the interior of the ram is light years ahead.
@@EdTechDigest I went with the F150 Plat. Been two months since I pulled the trigger and still don't have the build date. It wasn't an easy decision. The ram was nicer in nearly every way. But the Ford had more features. I have an off grid cabin and the pro power generator was a really nice feature as a backup. Plus the fuel economy of the powerboost. Eventually a nice interior will become white noise and irrelevant, but I'll never get tired of good fuel economy.
Thank you for sharing this. I have a Big Horn Built to serve edition, 5.7 eTorque , after 8000 miles is only giving me 14mpg avg, with just me driving and empty bed, not as I spectated. I wish I could get the same numbers as yours. Any recommendations to improve mileage would be truly appreciated. Thank you
It really depends on weather. But do you have any ride height or tire changes? Typically people’s mpg’s tank when they raise them and put “muddin” tires on them. Or them god aweful hotboi wheels. The adaptive cruise control kills mpg though . I can still get mine into eco mode with a medium foot and 80ish mph to keep the mpg decent
@@PMPerformance thank you for the response. Everything is standard for the special edition built to serve, includes AT tires. Agree about the weather and also terrain conditions. I moved to Ct from Miami( drove here). I was getting slightly more mpg in Miami hot weather and it was flat. Ct is hilly in my daily basic drive, however I’m a very conservative driver and still hard to keep it on eco mode. I actually ran a diagnostic after spoken to Ram customer service, and they send me to a do a second diagnostic. They did said that my car has a 26 gallon gas tank instead of the standard 23, which add some extra weight.
@@ViPR305 be thankful for that bigger tank! I wish I had the option. Towing can kind of suck with the smaller tank. Yea the hills Deff does not help. That’s how Pa is as well
I just got a 2022 4x4 laramie with hemi e torque and i get 11.5 average driving real careful for the past month how am i getting such low milage?? I only have 1200 miles on it is it the breaking period or what could it be?? Someone pls help i would appreciate it.
Fortunately I don't do much city driving, I'm like 75 to 85% highway and I drive pretty fuel-efficiently, so I'm thinking I can keep it at or above 20 most of the time.
This is crazy I've got an 07 laramie and I get a solid 15-17mpg around town 20 on the highway 109k miles seems like the newer ones are worse on fuel think I will stick with my 3rd gen
Isn’t this about the mileage I posted? Lol In all seriousness I have gotten 20psi highway a few times driving 80 on the highway. City when it’s warm is typically about 16.5-17.5
And in reality, Hemi 5.7L with city driving is going to be like 10mpg like mine averages lol … sure you’ll see 20+mpg ONLY when you reset the dash and do only highway driving after that lol … that is totally unrealistic for any 5.7L Hemi with any city driving involved. These things are not very fuel efficient at all but, that’s a V8 Ram truck so, want to save gas, buy a hybrid micro car lol!!!
There is a line between buying a hybrid and expecting more than 10mpg. Let’s not act like just because we own trucks that gas mileage isn’t worth taking about.
I've had my 2017 Ram 1500 V6 for 5 months and I have gotten around 18mpg almost every fill up. My worst recorded MPG was 17.2 and my best was 20.7mpg. Kinda sucks the current Hemi doesn't match that number even with etorque even though EPA rating says so. However yes my V6 with 305 is quick, you got 395hp, almost 400hp so that much be fun lol
While this video is years old, from what I can remember, the Hemi did match these numbers….. all the while being a bigger engine. Etorque really has nothing to do with gas mileage. The Hemi really isn’t the bees knees by any means for power. I wish they put the Hurricane in the 24’s as it would be an easy sale for me.
@@PMPerformance Yeah I apologize for commenting on such an older video lol. Regardless, the Hemi gets way better gas mileage than it used to. And I agree with the Hurricane engine, I do believe that will be a thing in the Ram lineup for '25.
@Tylnorton it’s all good commenting on the older video. I just meant that I forgot the details, but based on your mpg, I was right there with you. Pretty sure I was seeing high 18’s to low 20’s in this video I am new truck shopping new. The Ram is where it’s at across the board, but I am still not a Hemi fan
Not apples for apples but; 2016 RAM 5.7 Hemi. Average 16/21, but this is not calculated just reading the OB computer reading. Are we all taking on board this is a truck/5.7 Hemi. I don't buy a truck to get worried about MPG. My question is I am looking for a 2021 and what are your thoughts on the etorque? still feel straight Hemi.
Well any consumer should consider this with gas being $4 a gallon. You can need a truck, but not appreciate spending too much money to fill one. I have never driven a Hemi without etorque to compare. I don’t think it makes a difference either way in gas mileage or power. It’s more for start stop I think
I do not know your towing requirements, but for everyday, non-towing driving, the 5.7 eTorgue is great with 3.21 gears. You should get 18 to 22 mpg, but keep your foot light on the accelerator and let that 8 speed transmission do its job. The truck coasts like crazy on level to downhill grades, and it has the power to go up hill without a lot of downshifting.
Wow great fuel mileage for a big truck. I switched from a EcoBoost 3.5 to a ram hemi and the hemi gets around 2mpgs better. The f150 was constantly in the shop a pile for sure. Ram is a much better built truck.
I was surprised as well long term that the v8 seems to get better gas mileage than the 3.5 Did you have the typical timing chain tensioner issues? Or other? This truck overall is built a ton better. I am considering actually keeping it after my lease is up.
@@PMPerformance yes timing chain, warped exhuast manifold, alternator, turbo coolant leaks, transmission shifting problems along with all the rattles on the inside. Lol. Less then 45k miles.
I had 230k on my 3.5 2011 when i sold it… did timing chain 2x basically every 100k miles before cold start rattle would come back… i did the work myself so wasnt that. Expensive. But i now drive a 2020 ram rebel 5.7 with etorque and the smiles per gallon is worth it
Id say these #'s are good for a hemi v8 truck.....i see Subaru outback's with a cvt trans and turbo 2.4 getting the same mpg's even with highway driving
I was quite happy with these numbers until the gas quality tanked. I am seeing much lower since gas went up, assuming ethanol content went up along with it.
I got a ‘24 laramie v8 e-torque. Short trips around town, 12.7 mpg, terrible. I got it in February ‘24 about 1900 miles rt now. Shocked how bad it is. Got trailer tow package but gears on sticker window only say 3.21. Does trailer tow automatically include the 3.92’s?
@billysmith7835 nah. I’d bet it’s more short trips and gearing than anything. Short trips I am down a good bit than when I do longer trips. More stop and go is worse on mileage. I have NEVER seen 12’s though unless I was towing. The abaolute worst I have ever seen was dead of winter, shit gas and short trips was maybe 15’s. I typically still average almost 18 for back and forth to work type trips. That’s like 15 miles of mostly highway of fluctuating speeds and grades of road in normal weather. During the winter this goes down almost 2mpg due to temp and shitty winter gas with ethanol as well as warming my truck up in the mornings.
@@PMPerformance thanks for the reply. Def makes sense. I’ll let ya know if anything else comes of it. Tire pressure, 89 octane…etc. makes sense about short trips. Sometimes on inactive day could be 3 miles round trip to grab some coffee in the am
@billysmith7835 my pleasure man. Yea I learned this with mine as well. Same as if you live in a hilly area. Sooo many factors and the Oem bases their numbers on straight, downhill, wind blowing from the back type scenarios. You should certainly be getting better though. I have a heavy foot, so I am usually 2-4mpg under everyone else’s claims.
Lol, not sure how to take that, but thank you. Hahaha. Maybe it’s the white oakleys. I got them to match the GT500, but now I have a white truck, I rock them daily in this. Haha
Ford was screwing around with building my new truck and they were not dealing whatsoever. I sold all my ford’s then except 1 and that may be on its way out too
I have a 2021 quad cab 5.7 non etorque with 3.21 gears and i mainly drive street and i get 12mpg not flooring it and driving conservative. I have the 20inch wheels and with 600 miles on it. I hope my mpgs get better once the motor breaks in after 1000 miles or the next oil change
Took a 21 crew cab big horn rwd with the same specs on a road test and the computer listed 10.5 mpg when it started. I assume that’s bc everybody’s been flooring it but idk. The empty fuel tank indicator was also on. Any thoughts?
Just curious what gearing you have? And do you have air suspension? I'm getting a rebel here soon just curious on if this is something I can expect for fuel mileage?
I have a 17 rebel with the air ride 3.92 gears and 33inch M/T's 107k miles and when I don't use the cruise I can get 18.5-19 mpg on the hwy while always hauling my SD a big thing of tools, etc. I watched this video because I'm looking at a loaded 21' laramie night edition and the etorque. I've had 5 rams and I never worried about gas mileage until these last 2+ years. Even 2 more mpgs will help. Love all my rams. None of them ever left me stranded.
Are you in a state where they water down the gas for the winter? Honestly my gas mileage took a hit in the last 6 months or so. I think the mixture changed permanently . I am getting winter mileage now in the warmer months
@@ronwinkles2601 I have had mine ( 2022 Ram 5.7 etorque 3.21 gears for a bit over 2 months. 20-21 on the highway, 12-16 city so far. Was told there is no break in period but when I had my Silverado it took almost 10k miles before my mileage improved, which was always around 14-15 city and 21 hiway. So it I get the same at least I won’t be too butthurt even though I expected 17 city and 22 hiway. When spring comes hopefully that will improve as winter driving always gets less mpg in the city here in mn for me.
It’s all about the ethanol. You should get better gas mileage in warmer months, but I noticed last year mine went down a good bit. I’m betting they are throwing higher ethanol in now adays overall.
@@PMPerformance unfortunately these new dodges aren’t multi fuel capable like my 2014 Silverado was. One of those issued which might have factored into not buying the Ram had I gave it more thought
Man I don't know how you guys are getting this great MPG, I just bough ta 21 Ram 1500 5.7L etorque and am getting 12.5MPG. Not driving with a lead foot or anything, what in the world?
I’m on my third ram bighorn crew with 2 Wheel Dr. with the hemi E torque and my average every day driving is between 18 and 21 MPG all the time here IN warm and FLAT Florida..😂
Just bought a 22 Limited Etorque with the 3.92. My first Ram. Nowhere close to any of the GM V8s I've owned over decades. Love the interior but fuel economy is terrible. I think a software update, perhaps tuning the first few gears would help from a rpm change. This truck needn't run at such high rmp low speed or in 8th. I had a 8sp 6.2 from GM that had AFM, 8 to 4 when cruising at points where it was very flat or downhill, which is the same as Ram.. the 3.92 kills fuel economy. Nice off the start but the Hemi has plenty of HP for that anyway. Hope economy improves after break in... that or a tune. I also hate hate the small tank.. should have looked for the bigger, fewer stops, more distance.
The small tank deff sucks when towing! So I really think this truck could benefit from a 10spd. GM really has it figured out with AFM. My 6.2 Vette gets like 25-26mpg on the highway even pre AFM days. I know it’s apples to oranges, but this makes me think about trying a Sierra Denali on my next lease. I really enjoy the Ram overall though. Just had front control arms replaced at 22k that have been bad since 18k. Also the tires are 4/32 already at 22k miles which sucks.
@@PMPerformance What brought me to Ram vice another GM was ergonomics. GM changed to a raised dead pedal for the left leg, can't stretch out like I would in the pre 19. I feel too far from the wheel and dash. They also got rid of the pedal adjustment. Seats were less comfortable imo.. and I had a Denali, tried a new Denali. I'm hoping though that the transmission and torque converters hold up better than the GM did. Good luck.
🤷♂️. I would say it’s average maybe. Those tires are big and heavy. So gas mileage is going to be terrible either way. Lifts/off road tires/ big tires all pretty much tank gas mileage. Otherwise you will enjoy the truck though. I am actually shopping 24’s as my lease is up, and I gotta say no one makes a truck like the Ram. It really is the nicest package for the money out there. I may just buy out my lease. I am still not the biggest fan of the Hemi, but this is a damn good truck minus a few quarks during ownership.
@@c.juneau410 anything other than off-road tires. If you aren’t off-roading, off-road tires make no sense. While one would debate 22’s make no sense, they have done great for comfort and towing
How in the world is my new to me 21’ RAM Limited getting 10.5mpg basically all city/highway mixed…and on the way home from NJ 3 hour ride highest it went was just under 18mpg. It hasnt even sniffed that since ive been home with it for a month here in the Northeast…i think the constant remote start in the cold is killing my MPGs though…first truck with remote start and all the bells and whistles so i have been using it a lot
So a couple things here…… this video is close to 2 years old and I believe was in the summer. 1. Summer gas mileage is quite a bit better due to ethanol content being lower than “winter gas” 2. I swear since all this gas shit happened this year and gas went through the roof, we now get the watered down shit all year long. My gas mileage has tanked continuously a few mpg since last Spring.
@@PMPerformance ahh that makes sense with all the nonsense going on as of year or two ago. Didnt even think of that…so unfortunately 10/11 miles city isn’t uncommon or anything to worry bout really with a 21’ ram limited Etorque?
@@Orr_s well I still avg quite a bit better than that on my bad days. I have been seeing 15.5-16ish the last few months normal driving. Any longer trips, maybe 17.5-18 now
@@PMPerformance yeah its mostly all suburbs/city driving, if highway real short trips…im starting to wonder if something is up though because 10-11 lately is crazy low. Even if i idle it with remote start for 10 mins
I drive a 2021 1500 5.7eTorque, 3.92 gearing, crew cab, stock 18"wheels with 285-65R18 Falken Wildpeaks, stock suspension. I only use mid grade gas. For me it's 14-15mpg usually because it's mostly town driving, but best I've had was almost 24mpg round trip on a 300mile trip. I live in New England.
@@nsj11220 for sure! Still killer though. I can’t match that, but I have a heavy foot. Now it’s getting cooler out, I’m starting to see my mileage drop a bit again.
@@dave-cd7jd typically my numbers are terrible compared to most it seems, but yea these were taken in the warm. I try not to stress too much over it, but as gas prices are going up, it’s a valid topic.
It changed because you are trusting the computer. The computers are always off unless you do about 95% highway and drive it like a granny. Even then your will probably be about 1 mpg off + or -.
I was before gas went to shit. As soon as gas prices went up, my guess is so did ethanol content. I went from 18mpg mixed and like low 20’s highway to like 14-15 mixed and like 16-17 highway
I’m so mad right now...I have a longhorn...22s and 3.92 gears as well I’m getting 10.8mpgs!! Wonder if something is wrong with it...I just hit 900 miles
New car engines take some time to break in and hit their optimal fuel economy. I had a similar problem with my car. If this is still a problem around 5k miles, then you should look into it more.
Get used to that, if you’re doing city driving, not babying the gas and driving it ‘normally’ you’re going to hover in around 10mpg, that’s what you get from these 5.7L Hemi Rams. I have 2021 classic, 3.92 gears, 5.7L and regular driving to and from work city I am around 10-12mpg. If I do highway driving and reset the dash I might see 20mpg briefly, but that usually drops to around 14-18mpg. The window stickers are lies, and people who say they are getting 20-25mpg consistently are full of it, OR they’re resetting the dash constantly, cruise control or baby the gas and ONLY highway driving to get even close to that kind of mpg. These Rams are NOT fuel efficient without some exact behaviour and conditions.
@@matthewwiskur5583 the gas imho is worse than what it was when I made this video. Obviously lots of other factors, but once gas sky rocketed in price, I think the ethanol content did as well. My mpg’s went down quite a bit in the last year
After 4-5k miles the motor is definitely fully worn in and the mpg wont change expect possibly by 1 on the highway when the tires wear in alittle more..
What you're getting now is what you'll get. It's a 5.7L V8 that basically only has highway mpg saving features besides maybe the start/stop system.. they can't make magic happen haha. Big V8 man! Normal...
How is it not? I actually own the vehicle and drive it every day. Most reviews just quote specs and never actually drive them. That’s about as real world as it gets no?
Wow..... well that makes me feel better then. Haha Do you tow at all? I found the calculation gets completely hosed for atleast a full next tank if you do any towing. Safe to assume you have bigger tires and lift? That seems to tank gas mileage too.
@@PMPerformance no towing or hauling of anything. Bed has my kids baseball equipment in it. Maybe 100 pounds of weight total? I go up to around 12 mpg if I drive a long ways like down to AC or LBI but around town I'm under 10. Only mods I have are tints(lol) and a new exhaust
Wow....my 17+ year old Ram 2500 with 5.7 Hemi gets 17 mph combined driving....mostly town driving and I never used treatment to clean the valves. I don't understand why that over engineered Hemi really don't do much better. What am I missing here?
Dunno, maybe you drive downhill all the time or just use momentum to move your truck? I have never heard reports of an old v8 truck getting good gas mileage.
@@ChiTownRuler023 yes this is true, small town driving... not a lot of stop and go. However I do have lot's of hills and I step on the gas hard to get it up to the speed limit every time. Still have the truck and it's looks good too. It had the typical rear panel rust but I fixed it myself. Look at my video.
Is that the only thing you got out of the video? I know it’s not dodge. I have a habit of saying it though. Pretty sure I correct myself every time I say it in a video
@@PMPerformance Nope, it's not the only thing I got from the video. However, it's the thing that sticks out most to me because I sell these vehicles on a daily basis and it's my job to know about them. I wasn't trying to be rude. However you want to take it though.

My around town gas mileage is in the 14's and hwy is 18/19/20 depending on my mood. It's a truck that feels great with the 3.92! If i wanted or needed Prius mileage, i would have bought a Prius. LOL. What i lose in mileage I gain in smiles. Great truck.
Pretty good mileage. While I don’t agree about smiles, and gas mileage, this isn’t bad for a v8 with steep gears.
I’m a sports car /sport sedan guy, so driving a truck doesn’t make me smile. Lol. It’s just a necessity unfortunately
No smiles, then your not driving it right😂. I’ve had many performances cars, last one being a vette. I have/had a truck, 2 bikes, and the vette. Couldn’t drive them all. So I’ll take the little smiles from the truck until my next performance car.
@@Dblx1 it’s just a daily for me and tow rig. Nothing exciting

Everything could play a factor in gas mileage on a road trip, headwinds, tailwind, crosswind how much fuel is in the tank because that is weight, temperature, etc...my 2015 express 5.7 extended cab always get 21-22 on road trips but I have the 3.21 gears which are great for lightly loaded road trips...
In every vehicle I 've ever had. I get better fuel economy with my foot than cruise control.
I am finding this out as well. I rarely use cruise, but people keep telling cruise will give superior gas mileage, so I tried it
I'm gonna second this...gas mileage is shite with cruise control lol
I always find cruise control trying too hard to maintain speed on incline. It’s not that serious for it to race to get back to speed.
Very true especially with the Ram 1500 5.7 eTorgue
It’s a common misconception, cruise control does get worse gas mileage, it was never meant for improving MPG’s but a convenience to eliminate fatigue on long trips
Gotcha, makes sense now that I tested it.
2022 ram limited with 3.21 gears, drives great, good power but mpg is around 13.5 in city and 17/18 on highway which is much lesser than the epa and particularly for 3.21s
@@mogunz9643 I doubted it myself and checked out
It is 3.21s
I just bought a 22 hemi etorque I hope the mileage improves once it gets broke in. I traded in a 19 regular hemi that I put 92k on and I easily saw 20 mpg on the highway
If you saw that on your old one, you will on this. It’s the same motor
Was considering getting a new truck with one of these engines but can't justify losing that much mpg. My Laramie Limited EcoDiesel with 35's and 355 gears, GDE tuned ECU, and SFT trans tune I get 29mpg hand calculated at 70mph.
Yea you can’t come remotely close to an eco Deisel to a v8. In the same token you won’t tow as much or have the same getup and go.
I was considering a Silverado Denali eco Deisel before this and was concerned I would give up too much for gas mileage.
I’m not a fan of adaptive cruise control for the same reasons.
love adaptive cruise control
@Deke1 I do kind of like it for long highway trips, but I stopped using it as it’s a little agressive. If it toned down a bit, it would be perfect. I rather have it than not have it though for sure!
@@PMPerformance You'd get better gas mileage if you were travelling between 60-65 mph and not 75-80 mph...
@Deke1 I am well aware. I have been driving a bit ;)
2021 1500 Bighorn 3:21 gears and 4K miles and I’m averaging about 13.2 and highway I might get 15.2. I’ve tried every brand of gas and from 87-93 octane and nothing is improving it.. not sure why it’s so bad, even baby the gas pedal. When I tow my travel trailer that’s 22 feet and 4K pounds I average 10mpg on the highway.
That sucks, but makes me feel better. Lol
My Long range towing isn’t far off. I’m typically 11-11,5 mpg towing
Hey dude, really good review! Yes, the cruise control doesn't care about fuel mileage, only getting you back to speed and keeping you there regardless of hills or whatever. I also didnt know that gas quality up north suffered based upon time of year. I knew there were other reasons I never wanted to go visit. Just kidding, but seriously....
Thanks man. Yea the gas quality suffered terribly when it gets colder out. Same with with E85.
Shit deff makes me want to move down south. Lol.
Thanks for watching. Hope you found the video informative or atleast amusing. Lol
@@PMPerformance I did enjoy it. I just ordered a brand new 2022 Laramie from the factory with etorque and cant wait to get it. I'm subscribed so keep up the vids!
@@18tigerz awesome man! You will love it. It is a great truck overall.
Yeah adaptive cruise control still doesn’t know when to “coast” it out. When they create a system that goes 0 throttle (especially downhill) that would be ideal and your numbers would be better I bet. Definitely making me feel I didn’t miss out by opting for the 5.7 non e torque. Best I’ve gotten is about 18 all highway. Learning the sweet spots though. Added KN air filter as well so hope that helps on the longer trips a little
Yea the adaptive cruise control is violent. I think they could have programmed it better
Cruise control will never be fuel efficient. It will keep your speed up and down hills and a real driver would speed up going down hill and coast a bit uphill with momentum or simply go a little slower up hill.
Yep, I always get worse mpgs with cruise.
I realize this now from testing.
If you have adaptive, yes. And sure, mountainous areas, yea. But if you're on relatively flat ground or just hilly, cruise control will do better with fuel efficiency.
I get way better gas mileage not using cruise control also. I just bought a 2021 etorque ram about 4 weeks ago. About a week or so after my previous comment. I'm able to get 2 mpg not using cruise control. Though I will probably still use it on road trips. I think you are absolutely right. When the truck accelerates with cruise, it really ramps up the speed instead of easing into it. I can't tell the breaking so much. I'll have to give it more time.
Yea, I just took a 6 hr road trip and tried using the ACC again. My wife was yelling at me each time it sped up and jammed on the brakes. I told her I don’t program the ECU logic. Lol. She just thought I was driving like a dick.
Ram could easily adjust the ramp up if they wanted to.
Congrats on the new truck!
Thanks for this vid. I'm real torn between the powerboost platinum and the ram limited. I feel like the 24 city of the powerboost is worth its weight in gold. Even if the interior of the ram is light years ahead.
Glad it helped either way.
Thanks for viewing.
Did you end up making a choice? I'm in the same boat as you :)
@@EdTechDigest I went with the F150 Plat. Been two months since I pulled the trigger and still don't have the build date. It wasn't an easy decision. The ram was nicer in nearly every way. But the Ford had more features. I have an off grid cabin and the pro power generator was a really nice feature as a backup. Plus the fuel economy of the powerboost. Eventually a nice interior will become white noise and irrelevant, but I'll never get tired of good fuel economy.
Agreed!
I am considering trading my 21 for a 24 since they are coming out with the TT’s for 24.
I miss my smaller displacement turbo motor.
Thank you for sharing this. I have a Big Horn Built to serve edition, 5.7 eTorque , after 8000 miles is only giving me 14mpg avg, with just me driving and empty bed, not as I spectated. I wish I could get the same numbers as yours. Any recommendations to improve mileage would be truly appreciated. Thank you
It really depends on weather. But do you have any ride height or tire changes? Typically people’s mpg’s tank when they raise them and put “muddin” tires on them. Or them god aweful hotboi wheels.
The adaptive cruise control kills mpg though . I can still get mine into eco mode with a medium foot and 80ish mph to keep the mpg decent
@@PMPerformance thank you for the response. Everything is standard for the special edition built to serve, includes AT tires. Agree about the weather and also terrain conditions. I moved to Ct from Miami( drove here). I was getting slightly more mpg in Miami hot weather and it was flat. Ct is hilly in my daily basic drive, however I’m a very conservative driver and still hard to keep it on eco mode. I actually ran a diagnostic after spoken to Ram customer service, and they send me to a do a second diagnostic. They did said that my car has a 26 gallon gas tank instead of the standard 23, which add some extra weight.
@@ViPR305 be thankful for that bigger tank! I wish I had the option. Towing can kind of suck with the smaller tank.
Yea the hills Deff does not help. That’s how Pa is as well
I just got a 2022 4x4 laramie with hemi e torque and i get 11.5 average driving real careful for the past month how am i getting such low milage?? I only have 1200 miles on it is it the breaking period or what could it be?? Someone pls help i would appreciate it.
@@emilianoperez22 defiantly break in period I have 60k on mine in city I get15-16 highway 21
2021 limited 19mpg highway, 13mpg city
Mine 22 big horn 13mpg.
That's it
Fortunately I don't do much city driving, I'm like 75 to 85% highway and I drive pretty fuel-efficiently, so I'm thinking I can keep it at or above 20 most of the time.
It’s a tough task, but not impossible.
Let me know how you
Make out
This is crazy I've got an 07 laramie and I get a solid 15-17mpg around town 20 on the highway 109k miles seems like the newer ones are worse on fuel think I will stick with my 3rd gen
Isn’t this about the mileage I posted? Lol
In all seriousness I have gotten 20psi highway a few times driving 80 on the highway. City when it’s warm is typically about 16.5-17.5
And in reality, Hemi 5.7L with city driving is going to be like 10mpg like mine averages lol … sure you’ll see 20+mpg ONLY when you reset the dash and do only highway driving after that lol … that is totally unrealistic for any 5.7L Hemi with any city driving involved. These things are not very fuel efficient at all but, that’s a V8 Ram truck so, want to save gas, buy a hybrid micro car lol!!!
There is a line between buying a hybrid and expecting more than 10mpg.
Let’s not act like just because we own trucks that gas mileage isn’t worth taking about.
I've had my 2017 Ram 1500 V6 for 5 months and I have gotten around 18mpg almost every fill up. My worst recorded MPG was 17.2 and my best was 20.7mpg. Kinda sucks the current Hemi doesn't match that number even with etorque even though EPA rating says so. However yes my V6 with 305 is quick, you got 395hp, almost 400hp so that much be fun lol
While this video is years old, from what I can remember, the Hemi did match these numbers….. all the while being a bigger engine.
Etorque really has nothing to do with gas mileage.
The Hemi really isn’t the bees knees by any means for power. I wish they put the Hurricane in the 24’s as it would be an easy sale for me.
@@PMPerformance Yeah I apologize for commenting on such an older video lol. Regardless, the Hemi gets way better gas mileage than it used to. And I agree with the Hurricane engine, I do believe that will be a thing in the Ram lineup for '25.
@Tylnorton it’s all good commenting on the older video. I just meant that I forgot the details, but based on your mpg, I was right there with you. Pretty sure I was seeing high 18’s to low 20’s in this video
I am new truck shopping new. The Ram is where it’s at across the board, but I am still not a Hemi fan
Not apples for apples but; 2016 RAM 5.7 Hemi. Average 16/21, but this is not calculated just reading the OB computer reading. Are we all taking on board this is a truck/5.7 Hemi.
I don't buy a truck to get worried about MPG. My question is I am looking for a 2021 and what are your thoughts on the etorque? still feel straight Hemi.
Well any consumer should consider this with gas being $4 a gallon.
You can need a truck, but not appreciate spending too much money to fill one.
I have never driven a Hemi without etorque to compare. I don’t think it makes a difference either way in gas mileage or power. It’s more for start stop I think
I do not know your towing requirements, but for everyday, non-towing driving, the 5.7 eTorgue is great with 3.21 gears. You should get 18 to 22 mpg, but keep your foot light on the accelerator and let that 8 speed transmission do its job. The truck coasts like crazy on level to downhill grades, and it has the power to go up hill without a lot of downshifting.
Wow great fuel mileage for a big truck. I switched from a EcoBoost 3.5 to a ram hemi and the hemi gets around 2mpgs better. The f150 was constantly in the shop a pile for sure. Ram is a much better built truck.
I was surprised as well long term that the v8 seems to get better gas mileage than the 3.5
Did you have the typical timing chain tensioner issues? Or other?
This truck overall is built a ton better. I am considering actually keeping it after my lease is up.
@@PMPerformance yes timing chain, warped exhuast manifold, alternator, turbo coolant leaks, transmission shifting problems along with all the rattles on the inside. Lol. Less then 45k miles.
@@fireant1272 that’s wild. Guess I dodged a bullet on my 21 order that never got fulfilled
I had 230k on my 3.5 2011 when i sold it… did timing chain 2x basically every 100k miles before cold start rattle would come back… i did the work myself so wasnt that. Expensive. But i now drive a 2020 ram rebel 5.7 with etorque and the smiles per gallon is worth it
Id say these #'s are good for a hemi v8 truck.....i see Subaru outback's with a cvt trans and turbo 2.4 getting the same mpg's even with highway driving
I was quite happy with these numbers until the gas quality tanked. I am seeing much lower since gas went up, assuming ethanol content went up along with it.
I got a ‘24 laramie v8 e-torque. Short trips around town, 12.7 mpg, terrible. I got it in February ‘24 about 1900 miles rt now. Shocked how bad it is. Got trailer tow package but gears on sticker window only say 3.21. Does trailer tow automatically include the 3.92’s?
I feel like the 3.92’s were an upgrade. I vaguely remember needing to shop this out on 24’s as well when I was looking at leasing again.
@@PMPerformance this is the first e-torque hemi I’ve had. Maybe cylinder deactivation has to do with it?
@billysmith7835 nah. I’d bet it’s more short trips and gearing than anything.
Short trips I am down a good bit than when I do longer trips. More stop and go is worse on mileage.
I have NEVER seen 12’s though unless I was towing. The abaolute worst I have ever seen was dead of winter, shit gas and short trips was maybe 15’s.
I typically still average almost 18 for back and forth to work type trips. That’s like 15 miles of mostly highway of fluctuating speeds and grades of road in normal weather. During the winter this goes down almost 2mpg due to temp and shitty winter gas with ethanol as well as warming my truck up in the mornings.
@@PMPerformance thanks for the reply. Def makes sense. I’ll let ya know if anything else comes of it. Tire pressure, 89 octane…etc. makes sense about short trips. Sometimes on inactive day could be 3 miles round trip to grab some coffee in the am
@billysmith7835 my pleasure man. Yea I learned this with mine as well. Same as if you live in a hilly area. Sooo many factors and the Oem bases their numbers on straight, downhill, wind blowing from the back type scenarios.
You should certainly be getting better though. I have a heavy foot, so I am usually 2-4mpg under everyone else’s claims.
Man you look significantly younger with this new style.
Lol, not sure how to take that, but thank you. Hahaha.
Maybe it’s the white oakleys. I got them to match the GT500, but now I have a white truck, I rock them daily in this. Haha
What made you switch from Ford ecoboost to a ram?
Ford was screwing around with building my new truck and they were not dealing whatsoever. I sold all my ford’s then except 1 and that may be on its way out too
I sure hope mine gets better. Sticker says 17/22... my first tank and I'm in the 11's🤬
It should unless you are flogging on it all the time. I get that towing 6-7k lbs
I have a 2021 quad cab 5.7 non etorque with 3.21 gears and i mainly drive street and i get 12mpg not flooring it and driving conservative. I have the 20inch wheels and with 600 miles on it. I hope my mpgs get better once the motor breaks in after 1000 miles or the next oil change
Took a 21 crew cab big horn rwd with the same specs on a road test and the computer listed 10.5 mpg when it started. I assume that’s bc everybody’s been flooring it but idk. The empty fuel tank indicator was also on. Any thoughts?
It’s probably only been on short trips and romped on and sat idling.
Seems like newer cars are terribly inefficient at idling.
Just curious what gearing you have? And do you have air suspension? I'm getting a rebel here soon just curious on if this is something I can expect for fuel mileage?
3.92’s on 22’s and no air susp.
I have a 17 rebel with the air ride 3.92 gears and 33inch M/T's 107k miles and when I don't use the cruise I can get 18.5-19 mpg on the hwy while always hauling my SD a big thing of tools, etc. I watched this video because I'm looking at a loaded 21' laramie night edition and the etorque. I've had 5 rams and I never worried about gas mileage until these last 2+ years. Even 2 more mpgs will help. Love all my rams. None of them ever left me stranded.
I just got a 2022 Big Horn with the V8 Hemi, The gas mileage is horrible. Even on the highway my best was 16 mpg under 10 in the city
Are you in a state where they water down the gas for the winter?
Honestly my gas mileage took a hit in the last 6 months or so. I think the mixture changed permanently . I am getting winter mileage now in the warmer months
My 21 laramie crew cab 4x4 3.21 etorque is averaging over 18 now all surface streets
Very nice!
The same as mine. I can average 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg city.
@@ronwinkles2601 I have had mine ( 2022 Ram 5.7 etorque 3.21 gears for a bit over 2 months. 20-21 on the highway, 12-16 city so far. Was told there is no break in period but when I had my Silverado it took almost 10k miles before my mileage improved, which was always around 14-15 city and 21 hiway. So it I get the same at least I won’t be too butthurt even though I expected 17 city and 22 hiway. When spring comes hopefully that will improve as winter driving always gets less mpg in the city here in mn for me.
It’s all about the ethanol. You should get better gas mileage in warmer months, but I noticed last year mine went down a good bit. I’m betting they are throwing higher ethanol in now adays overall.
@@PMPerformance unfortunately these new dodges aren’t multi fuel capable like my 2014 Silverado was. One of those issued which might have factored into not buying the Ram had I gave it more thought
Thanks!

Lots of hills where you drive? Lots of small trips? Honestly I get that towing
I’m on my third ram bighorn crew with 2 Wheel Dr. with the hemi E torque and my average every day driving is between 18 and 21 MPG all the time here IN warm and FLAT Florida..😂
@@leedanielson7452 warm and flat will do it every time!
Just bought a 22 Limited Etorque with the 3.92. My first Ram. Nowhere close to any of the GM V8s I've owned over decades. Love the interior but fuel economy is terrible. I think a software update, perhaps tuning the first few gears would help from a rpm change. This truck needn't run at such high rmp low speed or in 8th. I had a 8sp 6.2 from GM that had AFM, 8 to 4 when cruising at points where it was very flat or downhill, which is the same as Ram.. the 3.92 kills fuel economy. Nice off the start but the Hemi has plenty of HP for that anyway. Hope economy improves after break in... that or a tune. I also hate hate the small tank.. should have looked for the bigger, fewer stops, more distance.
The small tank deff sucks when towing!
So I really think this truck could benefit from a 10spd. GM really has it figured out with AFM. My 6.2 Vette gets like 25-26mpg on the highway even pre AFM days. I know it’s apples to oranges, but this makes me think about trying a Sierra Denali on my next lease.
I really enjoy the Ram overall though.
Just had front control arms replaced at 22k that have been bad since 18k. Also the tires are 4/32 already at 22k miles which sucks.
@@PMPerformance What brought me to Ram vice another GM was ergonomics. GM changed to a raised dead pedal for the left leg, can't stretch out like I would in the pre 19. I feel too far from the wheel and dash. They also got rid of the pedal adjustment. Seats were less comfortable imo.. and I had a Denali, tried a new Denali. I'm hoping though that the transmission and torque converters hold up better than the GM did. Good luck.
Good to know about the GM, since that was another top of my list.
Just bought the 2021 Ram Rebel Night Edition with 35" BFG KO'2 & I am getting about 14MPG, is this good?
🤷♂️. I would say it’s average maybe.
Those tires are big and heavy. So gas mileage is going to be terrible either way.
Lifts/off road tires/ big tires all pretty much tank gas mileage.
Otherwise you will enjoy the truck though.
I am actually shopping 24’s as my lease is up, and I gotta say no one makes a truck like the Ram. It really is the nicest package for the money out there.
I may just buy out my lease. I am still not the biggest fan of the Hemi, but this is a damn good truck minus a few quarks during ownership.
@@PMPerformance what tire would you recommend?
@@c.juneau410 anything other than off-road tires.
If you aren’t off-roading, off-road tires make no sense.
While one would debate 22’s make no sense, they have done great for comfort and towing
How in the world is my new to me 21’ RAM Limited getting 10.5mpg basically all city/highway mixed…and on the way home from NJ 3 hour ride highest it went was just under 18mpg. It hasnt even sniffed that since ive been home with it for a month here in the Northeast…i think the constant remote start in the cold is killing my MPGs though…first truck with remote start and all the bells and whistles so i have been using it a lot
So a couple things here…… this video is close to 2 years old and I believe was in the summer.
1. Summer gas mileage is quite a bit better due to ethanol content being lower than “winter gas”
2. I swear since all this gas shit happened this year and gas went through the roof, we now get the watered down shit all year long. My gas mileage has tanked continuously a few mpg since last Spring.
@@PMPerformance ahh that makes sense with all the nonsense going on as of year or two ago. Didnt even think of that…so unfortunately 10/11 miles city isn’t uncommon or anything to worry bout really with a 21’ ram limited Etorque?

I try not to stress too much over it, but as gas prices are going up, it’s a valid topic.
I'll bet hand calculated its 14mpg. Your going by the lieometer.
Not entirely true. I have hand calculated said mileage already. I just did not for this video.
i suspect your driving in traffic with adaptive and your not going to get great fuel mileage unless you space your following distance out to maximum.
Yea, the adaptive is quite aggressive. I enjoy it, but yea it can be aggressive with its braking and throttling back up to speed.
It changed because you are trusting the computer. The computers are always off unless you do about 95% highway and drive it like a granny. Even then your will probably be about 1 mpg off + or -.
I just bought a 2022 5.7 etorque 4wd with 15,000 and only getting 15-16 mpg on the highway. Anyone actually getting close to advertised mpg?
I was before gas went to shit. As soon as gas prices went up, my guess is so did ethanol content.
I went from 18mpg mixed and like low 20’s highway to like 14-15 mixed and like 16-17 highway
A lot better than our 2020 jeep Cherokee Trail hawk.
Really? That’s wild !
How to reset the avg mpg? I can't figure it out.
Go under your center display and down arrow a few times into the avg economy and hold the enter/center button for like 3 seconds

I get better than that towing 6k lbs.
I have a rebel, i get about the same with the 18's or with the 22x12 im running for summer. Best I got was on a long trip. Maybe 16mpg
New car engines take some time to break in and hit their optimal fuel economy. I had a similar problem with my car. If this is still a problem around 5k miles, then you should look into it more.
Get used to that, if you’re doing city driving, not babying the gas and driving it ‘normally’ you’re going to hover in around 10mpg, that’s what you get from these 5.7L Hemi Rams. I have 2021 classic, 3.92 gears, 5.7L and regular driving to and from work city I am around 10-12mpg. If I do highway driving and reset the dash I might see 20mpg briefly, but that usually drops to around 14-18mpg. The window stickers are lies, and people who say they are getting 20-25mpg consistently are full of it, OR they’re resetting the dash constantly, cruise control or baby the gas and ONLY highway driving to get even close to
that kind of mpg. These Rams are NOT fuel efficient without some exact behaviour and conditions.
I'm a newbie lol what exactly is etorque
It’s kind of a BS efficiency thing.
It’s just a small electric motor that helps the start/stop functions
Was that all the gas you used in the end or did you fill up
Without watching the video again, off the top of my head I can’t imagine I filled back up. I typically fill up before a trip for solid results
I just bought a big horn 2021, 20,000 miles in pristine condition and I don’t know why I’m using a quarter tank of gas in just 60 miles.
@@matthewwiskur5583 the gas imho is worse than what it was when I made this video.
