Ram 1500 yr 2005 uses half a tank everyday for 140 mile driven on freeway, this truck wouldnt use up much before, so what could be the issue. Has 65k miles on it

Could be running too rich due to the following:

1. Excessive fuel pressure can be cause by restricted fuel return line
2. Defective Oxygen Sensors.
3. Leaking injectors and fuel pressure regulator.
4. Coolant temperature sensor out of calibration.
5. Restricted air intake system.
