    My experience with these Dodge/Rams is the more miles you get on them the better fuel mileage it gets. On my last truck, a 05 Dodge at around 35,000 I gained 1.5 miles per gallon, and at 70,000 miles I gained another 1.5 mpg. I'd get 12 to 14 mpg pulling a loaded 40' trailer. Just puttering around with no trailer I'd get as much as 29 mpg. I miss that truck.

    On my 2015 Ram, because I'm in the office all the time, I only have 35,000 miles on it and I'm already seeing the same pattern as the 200t. It doesn't get as good of mileage as the 05 did but it is increasing some.
