SPECIFICATIONS & OWNERSHIP
2016 RAM 1500 Fuel Economy (L/100 km & MPG)
Fuel economy varies widely by engine, drive layout, axle ratio, tires, driving conditions and test method. Compare Canadian ratings with Canadian ratings, not U.S. EPA numbers converted without explanation.
Confirm the engine, trim, drivetrain, market and installed equipment before using a part number, capacity or repair procedure.
What affects real-world consumption
Short trips, cold starts, wind, large tires, towing and idling can change results more than a small equipment difference.
How to calculate your own average
Divide litres used by kilometres driven and multiply by 100. Reset the trip meter at fill-up and compare several tanks for a representative result.
Use the correct model-year manual and current service information. Stop if instructions or safety precautions are unclear, and use a qualified technician for work you cannot verify.
