Had a great tank of fuel this weekend for the sons last hockey tournament away. Summer tires back on and no remote starts.

Truck able to average 11.0l/100km / 21 MPG for this tank (516 km). Driving mostly on 80 km/hr roads and cruise set 16-20 km/hr over.

Last weekend with winter tires still on - I was able to get 11.6 l/100km for a section - but was driving pretty slow /conservative and had a sled in the back!

Overall the hemi is about 30% thirstier than my old 2015 eco diesel - which is to be expected, but no comparison between quality / fit / Finish / style of the 4th to 5th generation.

Mpg will improve for a lot of us soon when the summer blend gas arrives. I usually gain about 2 mpg. Just with warmer temperatures I have gained a full mpg recently.

A couple of weeks ago when I was towing my car to the gulf coast and back the "lie-o-meter" was showing 9.6 mpg once I got home. I didn't bother to reset it and when I looked at it yesterday it was showing 18.1. I have no idea what it really is other than it'll be less than what's shown.

This was also with family of four , small dog, and two dirt bikes in the back.
Unloaded - surely would have done better.

Really happy with the hemi!
