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

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

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.

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.

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

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
