The EPA just released its ratings for the 2025 Ram 1500, and there are some big surprises. Contrary to expectations, the High-Output Inline Six gets worse fuel economy than the outgoing 5.7-liter naturally aspirated Hemi V8. Similarly, the Standard-Output variant of the 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six Hurricane engine only surpasses its predecessor on the highway. And the V6 is still the most miserly of the group. However, there are silver linings to these findings.
https://www.carscoops.com/2024/03/the-2025-ram-1500-inline-six-mpgs-are-a-mixed-bag/ Comparing the HO Hurricane against the pedestrian Hemi is not really applicable. I mean, seriously, it takes fuel to make HP so one would expect a higher HP engine to get worse mileage, all else being equal. Be more equal if they compared it to a Hemi with similar HP. I mean 540hp vs 395 hp and the HO Hurricane is only available in the 4wd trucks, bet those Hemi numbers aren't in 4wd configuration.
I believe Mark Twain said, figures don't lie, but liars figure.
