Kenny. That’s not out of the norm. Will improve (somewhat) with break-in. You‘re also on Winter gas, will improve with Summer blend. I’m avg 15.5 with a 40/60 hiway/around town, w/25k on the odo. TBH, I also drive like an old lady/man, except for the several times a week I floor it!On my first tank of gas, ( 2021 ), I drove almost exactly 50% freeway and 50% in town. My mpg were 13.8. No loads or towing. I can't imagine what it would be towing. Is this normal for the Hemi? Thanks
Well, where I live, there IS a difference between Summer and Winter. Check out this page and scroll down until you reach PADD 5 Gasoline Specifications. Or look at the county map of California a little further down and tell me what those rollout dates mean. https://www.energy.ca.gov/sites/default/files/2020-09/2020-09_Petroleum_Watch_ADA.pdfI have talked to (5) five different people @ the local refinery we do alot of work for and they all said the same thing at different times " There is no winter / summer blend of GASOLINE, DIESEL yes, but not normal GASOLINE". and yes I live where it's cold.
Burnside- Not disputing what you have said, only know that my mileage goes UP in the Spring/Summer. I’ve always heard of Summer/Winter blends for gasoline. Better mileage maybe because of temps, etc. I don’t know. YMMV.I have talked to (5) five different people @ the local refinery we do alot of work for and they all said the same thing at different times " There is no winter / summer blend of GASOLINE, DIESEL yes, but not normal GASOLINE". and yes I live where it's cold.
I guess they are. Things may be different in Minnesota but I just posted proof that there are different blends by season, at least in California, Arizona, and Nevada. So if you and your "experts" presume to speak for the whole United States, you all are wrong. Get it? WRONG. So save your snark. Just admit you made a mistake.Well I guess the 2 Engineers and 3 Formen I work with are wrong.
You started it. I repeat: save the snarkWow nice attitude.
You started it, he's touching me, what are you 5.You started it. I repeat: save the snark
Ad hominem attacks are all that's left when you can't refute the evidence.You started it, he's touching me, what are you 5.

I rarely drive on the highway and I consistently get around 11mpg. When I drive long distances on the highway I get about 18- 20. Since my last fill I’m getting 9.6 but i use my remote start a lotOn my first tank of gas, ( 2021 ), I drove almost exactly 50% freeway and 50% in town. My mpg were 13.8. No loads or towing.

Well Dr. Richard you are absolutely right about the heavy foot to hear the exhaust, but I doubt if the novelty will wear off. It's going to be pricey for me as I'll be using it 90% in town driving.It should improve as things wear in.
50% town, if it included a lot of idling at lights, will kill mileage. There was another fuel economy thread recently where someone calculated some outrageous amount of fuel, like 2 oz per minute, idling.
If you've already installed the new exhaust, I suspect you've been hitting the pedal harder than normal just to hear the sound. Once the novelty of that wears off, economy should also improve.
It's too soon to panic. I get around 15 when it's all town driving. Even a little freeway boosts the screen average up to 18ish. The wife and I took a Sunday drive and I averaged 21.
I can't imagine what it would be towing. Is this normal for the Hemi? Thanks
