There is one way to figure out fuel mileage in the Dodge trucks, take a piece of electrical tape, cover the overhead computer display with it, then get out a pen and paper! The overheads are wrong 99% of the time from the factory. The only thing they are good for is being dishonest when you sell the truck and finding a sucker who would actually believe that your getting 33MPG. Use the # of gallons off the pump and mileage you drove (if your odometer is calibrated for the tires) and that is the best way to know what your getting.

Wow you went 2000 miles at 90mph and got 19mpg! Good thing you own one of the greatest gas mileage trucks ever built cause your going to need the extra $$$ to pay the speeding tickets!
