Let’s delve into the powertrain options and miles-per-gallon ratings of the 2024 Ram 1500 to help you decide which trim and powertrain fit your driving needs.

Miles-per-gallon ratings represent how many miles a vehicle can drive on 1 gallon of fuel. Most miles-per-gallon ratings come from the EPA findings and help determine the fuel efficiency of a sedan, SUV, or pickup truck.

The EPA miles-per-gallon ratings are based on three levels of driving conditions: city, highway, and combined. City miles per gallon are based on slower stop-and-go traffic conditions, which generally use more gas. Highway miles per gallon are based on higher-speed driving conditions that don’t require as much stop-and-go driving, and combined miles per gallon average the city and highway ratings.

Why is it so important to understand miles per gallon? As a savvy consumer, you want to know how to budget for fuel expenses, especially with fluctuating gas prices due to changing economic conditions. When you’re considering purchasing a new vehicle, the miles per gallon of the given vehicle may make a major difference in your purchase decision. No matter your budget, you may want a car, truck, or SUV with exceptional fuel economy.
