How many miles per gallon does the Ram ProMaster get?

The Ram ProMaster’s miles-per-gallon figure varies by engine and configuration, but most owners see around 17–20 mpg combined with the gasoline engine and about 20–24 mpg combined with the EcoDiesel. Real-world numbers can differ based on load, driving style, and routes.


Engine options and EPA estimates


Gasoline 3.6L V6


EPA estimates for the gasoline ProMaster typically show moderate city fuel economy and stronger highway mileage. The numbers below reflect current-generation vans with standard transmission options, varying by wheelbase and roof height.



  • City: about 13–15 mpg

  • Highway: about 20–23 mpg

  • Combined: about 17–20 mpg


Note: Actual results depend on wheelbase, payload, roof height, and equipment. Gasoline models tend to have lower city numbers and similar or slightly lower combined figures when heavily loaded.


Diesel 3.0L EcoDiesel I4


Diesel variants of the ProMaster typically deliver better highway efficiency and strong torque, which helps when carrying payloads. The numbers below are representative for most current diesel configurations.



  • City: about 17–20 mpg

  • Highway: about 23–29 mpg

  • Combined: about 20–24 mpg


Diesel editions generally outperform gasoline on highway fuel economy, especially on long, steady-speed trips or when carrying substantial payloads.


What affects fuel economy on a ProMaster


Fuel efficiency is not fixed. Various factors influence real-world MPG, including payload, driving style, route profile, and maintenance.



  • Payload and cargo weight

  • Vehicle wheelbase and roof height (aerodynamics)

  • Driving habits: speed, acceleration, and idling

  • Route terrain and climate: hills, heat or cold affect efficiency

  • Maintenance: tire pressure, engine tune, and fluid quality


Fleet operators often see diesel models delivering better highway economy, while city driving with heavy loads can narrow the gap between gasoline and diesel variants.


Summary


The Ram ProMaster’s MPG depends on the chosen powertrain and configuration. Gasoline ProMasters typically run in the mid-teens to low 20s combined, while EcoDiesel versions often reach the low 20s combined with better highway efficiency. For precise figures, consult the EPA ratings for the exact model year, wheelbase, and drivetrain you’re considering, and remember that real-world results depend on payload, driving style, and conditions.
