I HATED THE 55 MPH SPEED LIMIT WITH A PASSION. That said, if you drive 55 mph, its amazing how your fuel mileage improves.

Dave, you do realize you are responding to a thread created entirely to bash Dodge by a guy with a Ford logo as an avatar, right?

Chris, not calling anybody a liar, its just an unusually low number. I don't doubt the actual numbers, its just a lot lower than others I have read.

This is pure speculation on my part, but I'm guessing its a trailer that caught some wind. There also might have been some head winds. They might have been driving the speed limits, but there are places out west that is 75 mph. Throw that all together with some mountains and hills and you get lousy mpg.

I totally agree with you.

Their point and my point was a gas 1/2 would have equaled the economy but given more performance.

I just went back and took another look at that Gauntlet posted and the conclusion there matches what our employees saw.

I will change it to Nissan when I get me another Titan. Next one will have a Cummins with the performance the Ram lacks!

Questioning my ethics? Too funny.

As far as hearsay I have no need to prove anything but I could with the drivers and trucks DOT Logs. I didn't feel the need to question what I was told. The 3 individuals driving are upper management and of good character.

Like I said... I wouldn't start an independent internet thread with the message being of nothing more than third party... That's hearsay, and from a poster as you with a multi year track record of promoting one brand,while berating another...says a lot about your motives.

Give them a year or so. My 08 Titan was by far my favorite vehicle I have owned of my two dozen.

I plan to sell my 06 F350 diesel and 2012 Ecoboost and go to one truck if it lives upto the hype.

You're obviously infatuated with the Ram diesel. You keep posting about a product you don't even own. Why don't you just go buy yourself one so you can have real experience, instead of sitting on the internet writing lame negative threads based on specs, and second hand stories?
