I review a Ram 1500 5.7L HEMI V8 when it comes to Fuel economy (MPG). I compare this Hemi engine to other engines in the half-ton truck segment for real world fuel economy.

Well I finally have gotten the Ram 1500 with the 5.7L Hemi V8 on my fuel economy loop to compare it to the rest of the half-ton 1500 truck segment engines and I have to say I was surprised this truck didn't do have better fuel economy.
first in the city this truck and engine was the worst we have tested which I don't should be a surprise but even on the country and highway section of my fuel economy loop the Hemi did not really gain that much steam and was always at the back of the pack of the engine I have ran on my fuel economy loop to this point.
I thought the MDS system and the fuel efficient 3.21 gears would have really helped this truck but that is not what we saw at all. it still beat the hurricane but that hurricane engine was in the rebel so.. theres that!
