Awesome and the Ram certainly needed it. Get 23 mpg highway with a 380 hp Hemi.
Hemi gets way more fuel efficient

Finally dodge has make good strides with the hemi great power with respectable mileage to back it up.

I hope that they can implement the 20% gains in he cars with the hemi also.

not much in favor of the new looks, but glad it will get 20% more MPG. Too bad they don't start putting diffuser kits on trucks, it would make it looks more cool to me anyways, like a brush guard.

this could be the first time ever that a dodge truck will be first in MPG. not sure how the new F150 will do but the new 6 speed should help. i expect it not to change much until the all new engines come out.

I'll believe 25 mpg when I see it.. 23 mpg is a little more realistic if you ask me, but I don't know about 25 mpg.. a little far fetched, considering the changed that were made.. not enough for 6 mpg increase.

yea i would agree. 25mpg is too close to what a V6 accord can do 29 mpg EPA highway, and the V6 accord isn't a tow vehicle, weighs probably half a ton less and has 100 less HP with better aerodynamics. 23mpg seems more attainable.

The new F150 should go up to at least 21 Mpg. I'm sure the Expedition gets that much.

I think that's a good estimate. My dad gets 19 mpg at 65 mpg. The new effy should get at least 21 mpg.. they've made a lot of improvements for that motor. I really wish they would implement DI though.

Ya idk.. it's not too expensive, and it is guaranteed to improve fuel economy and overall performance. It just seems stupid to not utilize DI.
