Dependant on the conditions I am driving in, and how heavy my foot is, around 800 kms a tank.

I get around 950km to a tank in the city on mine...if you want PM me your email address and I will send you an excel file that has the convertor built in that I use to keep track of my mileage, you simply imput km driven on a tank, Liters used to fill and it automatically calculates US MPG, Canadian MPG and L/100km.

I usually get around 800 as well. Straight highway run, sometimes 900.

Usually 800 if I hot dog it for an 1/8th or drive 120km/h. My tank holds about 128litres from driving 40 km on 0km to empty and filling to the top of the filler. us gallon is about 3.84 litres. Cdn miles per gallon imperial is us miles per gallon x 1.2....The best tank ever was about 950 but I was driving at 55 to 60 mph and no passing or city driving. ks

How many km on your 06? If very low give it sometime to break in as most find mileage goes up with time and some towing (I know mine did!). There is rumour that Dodge uses a computer program that changes slightly after a certain amount of hours at a certain calculated load value and you will not get max power or mileage until those conditions are acheived.

well, the last time i put a full tank of fuel in my truck was back in october, and with the pay at pump stopping at $100, i can get around 100-110 liters into the tank. that will get me between 700km and 850km depending on how agressively i drive [99% in the city always though]

Or you could say that 1 Imperial Gallon is 4.54 L.

NJohnson If you had a regular cab 2wd 6speed I'd believe you. If you had a built tranny I'd believe you. How big is your tank? If you drive 55mph on flatland with no city you might stay in that range, maybe. That is almost 22 mpg U.S gallon? It could be true but ....we are lacking some information. ks
