What is the gas mileage of a 1998 5.9 Dodge Ram 1500?

The gas mileage of a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 5.9L engine varies significantly depending on several factors: driving conditions (city vs. highway, terrain), vehicle condition (maintenance, tire pressure), and even the specific configuration of the truck (e.g., 2WD vs. 4WD, transmission type).

However, you can expect generally poor fuel economy for a truck of that age and engine size. Expect to see figures in the range of:

* City: 10-14 mpg (miles per gallon)

* Highway: 14-17 mpg

Keep in mind that these are just estimates. Real-world mileage could be higher or lower. To find a more precise estimate for a specific truck, you could look up fuel economy data based on the VIN number or check resources like the EPA's FuelEconomy.gov website (though data for that specific year and model might be limited).
