Wow that is disappointing. My 4th gen 3.6 QC 4x2 3.55 gets 25-27 on the highway. Never lower than 25 (lie o meter) on pure highway runs at 65-75mph. Cruise control and a/c on all the time (we’re snowbirds). I drive those Virginia and West Virginia mountains too.You can see my cumulative mpg in my signature.
We got back last night from a ~1000 mile road trip (DC area>Buffalo area>Cleveland area>DC area).
Probably 85-90% highway holding speeds of 60-75 mph with about 2/3 of the trip going through hilly or mountainous terrain, and I used ACC for all highway driving. Total passenger and cargo weight was probably somewhere in the vicinity of 600-700 lbs.
The highest the average mpg in the instrument cluster read during the trip was 21.8 mpg, though I'd say it spent most of the time between 20.5 and 21.5. I filled up three times on the trip, once (a partial fill-up) right before we left, the 2nd time leaving the Buffalo area, and the last time 2/3 of the way back from Cleveland.
Fuelly pegged that 2nd tank at 19.88mpg.
Not gonna lie, not impressed with the highway mpg (or the overall mpg). Sure, my Longhorn isn't far off the heaviest you can get, and I had 600-700 lbs of weight in the truck, and I was driving through hills and mountains, but I was hoping for substantially higher than 20 mpg with an extended stretch of highway cruising, especially in the flat stretches of NY and OH.
My best tank was 28.4, hand calculated, with about 850lbs of passengers and cargo.
I average 18-19 around town unless I’m doing a lot of short trips, then 17-18.
I really expected that with the upgraded Pentastar engine and eTorque your numbers would be higher. You do have a decked out CC 4x4 but still.
