Why did you bother to refuel? With a 26 gallon tank, getting 28 MPG with that Dodge Hemi, you should have been able to go 728 miles. Yes, 26X28=728. Houston to San Antonio is on my map 199 miles. <br /> <br />Obviously, your statement above is very revealing.... You could have done it with a gas tank 60 percent full. If you filled up going there, why did you refill coming back? Everyone I knows uses the speedometer zero setting to start a new tank of gas.You use the mileage between gas fillups and the amount of gas it takes to fill your tank to figure out your mileage. Anything less is a farce.... <br /> <br />Read this link from the Washington Post.... <br /> <br />http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/05/23/AR2005052301937.html <br /> <br />Why are all of the consumer agencies complaining that the EPA gas mileage numbers are to high? <br /> <br />Is yours the only truck in America that actually gets 30 percent more mileage than an EPA sticker..... <br /> <br />I think not! <br /> <br />I carpool with a friend who drives a 2004 Dodge Ram Hemi pickup. He used to claim he got 25 MPG.... To test it, he drove 2 weeks one time, and I drove my 2004 Volkswagon Jetta TDI 2 weeks. It turned out he only got 17 MPG, EPA states 18 MPG Highway, while mine car got 42 MPG, EPA states 44 MPG Highway.... <br /> <br />Consumer Reports says no one gets the EPA estimates..... NO ONE.... The link above explains why..... <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
