How to improve 05 Dodge 4dr 1500 Fuel Mileage?

I have added a cold air intake. Engine (4.7 liter with 6 spped standard transmission) gets full synthetic oil at every change. Fuel system has been flushed along with the filter changed and sparkplugs have been changed. On my last trip (1600 miles) the best mileage was 13.1 on the highway with no load. Avg speed was 75-80 on the freeway. Everything that I have researched says the truck should get 16-19 on the highway. Is there anything that I can do to improve mileage? The engine shwos no trouble codes!!How to improve 05 Dodge 4dr 1500 Fuel Mileage?
honestly thats not too far from the truth. you could slow down 10 mph that might helpHow to improve 05 Dodge 4dr 1500 Fuel Mileage?
Air Pressure in your tires is critical along with having the aligned and rotated (not sure how important that may be to your tires). You can upgrade your ECU or computer in your truck but I'm still not sure that would help a lot. Sorry hopefully the tire thing helps.How to improve 05 Dodge 4dr 1500 Fuel Mileage?
I don't know. I had a Dodge short bed and it didn't get much better than that either but with a 6 speed standard it should beat that. Although 75-80 is pushing it if you want good gas mileage in a truck.How to improve 05 Dodge 4dr 1500 Fuel Mileage?
What RPM are you running keep under 3000%26gt; For the best mileage%26gt; The cold air intake might of given the computer issue and fooling it running to lean and dumping more fuel%26gt; what gear ratio in the rear. If 410 than so much for gas mileage%26gt; Go on dodge ram forums and ask and read the question might find some help with what you need%26gt; Did you increase the tire size%26gt; That could affect the MPG%26gt; And if your using the over head distance to MPG they are not accurate%26gt;How to improve 05 Dodge 4dr 1500 Fuel Mileage?
YOU HAVE TO RESET YOUR MPG GAUGE ON THE HIGHWAY BY HOLDING IT DOWN!



I get 21 mpg highway in my HEMI! no mods nothing. But I have to reset my gauge once Im on the highway. Keep easy on the peddle up hills! and you will maintain around 17-21 easily!How to improve 05 Dodge 4dr 1500 Fuel Mileage?
you could also get your self a tonneau cover for it it will cause less drag and improve your gas mileage by 10%. or you just could take the trunk lid off or lower it depends where you live cuz some cops pull you over for havin it down. dont see why but oh well
