2009 Dodge Ram Will Be More Fuel-Efficient

Posted by   Published in Car Buying

Dodge execs announced nowadays that the redesigned 2009 Dodge Ram could see up to a 20% improvement in highway gas mileage. The 2008 two-wheel-drive Ram with a 310-hp V-8 got 13/19 mpg city/highway, so that highway number could go as high as 23 mpg.   

That’s a meaningful bump, as potential plus increases to 380 hp. So that is a case of getting to have your cake and eat it too. Dodge says most of the mileage improvements are due

to the Ram’s aerodynamics, so city mileage will probably remain similar to the 2008 estimate. A streamlined design doesn’t help any at a red light.

The 2009 Ram goes on sale that fall.
