I just bought a 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 crew cab pickup with the 5.2 engine
and automatic overdrive transmission and wonder what kind of gas milage
to expect. Thanks for any replys.

Expect around 10 to 12 in the city and up to 16 or slightly more on the
highway but of course, it all depends on how you drive it.

In other words, not very good.  It's OK.  I'm in the same boat.

Yes sight your sights low and if it does better you will not be
disapointed. Those trucks are known for not being thrity on fuel.

My 2001 w/5.9L gets about 14 around town, 18 highway.  I had a 2000 4x4
with the 5.2L and got about the same.

If it is a 2X4 then you should get 14-15 in town and 17-19 on the
highway.  Thats what I got out of my 96 when I owned it.  As mentioned
by others it will depend on your driving habits.
