Dodge 1500

Is this true? 28mpg with 390hp I just saw a commercial and thats what it said!!! Ill drive a dodge if this is true.

[Mckenzie]

You weren't ummm...drinking or smoking anything were you? I find 28 mpg out of a gas dodge highly unlikely!

[tanked_darren]

Its what they are advertising.

[cwalcz]

That's not what the dodge website says dodge website

[Fobroader]

Ive heard this commercial too, if that 400horse hemi gets 28MPG Ill eat my hat. Dodge has always had horrid mileage, gas engines anyways.

[prioritypest]

My 04 Hemi barely got 11 MPG, I dont think they've improved that much.

[lowrider]

No such thing as Dodge Trucks anymore. They are now called Ram.

28 miles per imperial gallon, not the US gallon.

Thats US gallons, we dont use imperial gallons in Canada. Even then, that wouldnt make it better.

[MikeNH]

I've seen window stickers on F-150s with imperial MPGs listed. And it would make it better because the gallon is of course bigger and a mile is still a mile. If the commercial was using US gallons, they were BSing. No way any Ram gets that high of a MPG rating.

If it was a Canadian advertisement then it would very likely be an Imperial gallon which would enable you to see a higher number as the American gallon is 128 fluid ounces and an Imperial gallon is 160 fluid ounces. So that would bring you to a little over 23 miles per American gallon. I'm assuming this was an est. for highway mileage?

I can't recall what channel it was on so I have no idea if it was American, but I just caught it when they said "There a reason more people are going with dodge" or something to that effect.

 

 

And than it said 390HP and then 28 MPG.

[gregrocks89]

Yeah i cant see them having that much hp. My buddy has a 08 dodge halfton thats chipped and suppose to have 420hp. It doesnt seem that much more powerful then my 6litre

You must have truly browsed that commercial, its on the website and I have also seen it on tv, it had all three trucks, chevy dodge and ford all racing or drivin through the desert dirt or W/E it is, and he's talking about mileage, and on the small print it says 20mpgs, in the large bold white print, it also says 20 mpgs with 390 HP so you might wanna check the commercial again,

Uh try again.. Canadian MPG advertizements are calculated using Imperal gallons. Thats why a Canadian window sticker lists a 1500 Sierra at 30MPG
