A Dodge Ram 1500 4×2 model with an eight-speed automatic transmission system gets approximately 15 miles per gallon in the city and 22 or on the highway. The mileage is less for trucks fitted with a six-speed automatic transmission system, which get 14 and 20 miles per gallon in the city and on the highway, respectively.
