TRX MPG numbers

Not sure if anyone else caught it but I guess we have MPG numbers:

2021 Ram 1500 fuel economy figures announced - Autoblog

Ram has published fuel economy figures for the 1500 TRX, a hot-rodded truck powered by a 702-horsepower V8. It returns 12 mpg combined.

10mpg city and 14mpg hwy. 12 combined.

I am gonna go ahead and let everyone know I will be getting 5.....hwy when I get my hands on mine. I am not worried with these numbers. Thoughts?

Ditto. We should have a competition. Say 25/50/100 highway miles, what’s the lowest MPG you can get.

Nah but gas is half the price it was so it’s like we’re getting 28 mpg hwy, 24mpg combined. ?

Yeah, I average 11 on my Gen 1 Raptor (6.2 L), so I knew it would be somewhat similar... but WAY more fun!

Your logic is undeniably correct.

I get 14.5 out of my 5.7. 12mpg....no complaints here.

I figure if there‘s a “safe space” for my logic it would unquestionably have to be this TRX forum, right.

That is literally exactly what I said to my wife. The Rebel wont get over 14.5 unless it is turned off and rolling down a hill so 12 or whatever is fine with me. Bring on the American Express fuel rewards!

Yeah I’m getting 9.5 in my 2500... this TRX is going to be me hugging the tree.....
