I got 52 miles out of the first 12 gal of gas. I could run my diesel forever it seemed in a tank. Over 30 mpg but the Ridge drinks gas worse than my outboard engine on my boat. Do get lots of tank pressure. What are y’all getting in your Ridge. I have the HVAC but lawd I figure it would better than 4mpg. That’s not what I was expecting and my still just putting around finishing the break in period
 
That sucks. Here’s another thing. Has anyone ridden much at night. Cabs so bright inside you can’t see outside. It’s strange with all the glass glare. When didn’t they make that screen dimmable. Cheap screen so probably that’s it but it’s hard to see around you at night. I can see forward but in turns it difficult to see out the sides.

Same here, getting about 5-6 mpg at best, My Hemi gets 4 times better mileage.
 
I just bought mine in December and I wanted to wait until I got a couple of tanks of gas run through it, but I'm getting around 15-16 MPG. I don't think that's too bad for this type of vehicle. I even let it idle and warm up for a while. Most of the riding that I did was on road routes. (Some paved, some gravel, some hills) I would expect those numbers to go down in soft sand or mud. I haven't had a chance to plow with it yet because we haven't had any snow but that would also affect the numbers.

I also noticed the pressure that builds up in the gas tank. When I open the cap, there is a noticeable release of built-up pressure. Is there some kind of pressure relief valve on the tank that is not working properly? Is anyone else having this problem?

I attached a picture of the last 2 tanks of gas and the mileage that I got. I use an app called Fuelio to keep track every time I fill up.
