Hi all. Just got my 2025 rebel and drove 250 miles on the freeway. Best I got was 15mpg. 72 to 82 mph. Is this it or will it get better? Also got a service tpm sensor code. That went away.
 
I just drove home in my new bighorn. Dash said 22.1 mpg. Hand calculated was 21.4 mpg. 470 miles of mostly interstate travel. SST engine
 
I own a 2021 Rebel, and that's about the same mileage I get running 87 octane. I wouldn't expect anything better from a Rebel. Its lifted, has bigger tires, is 4x4, it's not a recipe for fuel efficiency.
 
Routinely around 18mpg, as advertised.
 
My round trip I take about once of month of 600 miles I usually average around 20-21mpg hand calculated. I have a LoneStar with 3.92's. If I cruise below 75mph my instant reads around 20-25mpg. Anything above 75 and it drops down around to 17-21mpg.
 
I am around 4500 miles on my 2025 now.
Same driver, driving habits, city & HWY routes.
Hand calc. averages. BTW my trip computer is within 1 to 2 MPG (optimistic)
Only use 91-octane

Fuel economy of my 2019 with Hemi (5.7 Hemi, 3.92 Gears)
  • Avg city: 16MPG
  • Avg HWY: 19MPG
  • Avg speed: 75MPH
  • Avg. city/HWY: 18MPG
  • Avg towing (7000lb trailer) AZ to destination in UT: 12MPG
Fuel economy with the 2025 Hurricane engine (SSO. 3.92 gears) to date:
  • Avg. city: 17 MPG
  • Avg. HWY: 22 MPG
  • Avg. speed: 75MPH
  • Avg. City/HWY: 20 MPG
  • Avg towing: TBD –
 
The Rebel, unless a diesel, is always going to suck in comparison to the other trims when it comes to mpg.

With standard 33" A/Ts, 1" lift, no active radiator grills (not sure about 25' model year), and 3.92 axle, you will always be 20% - 30% lower than most other trims.
 
The E rated tires that come on the Rebels weigh 17 pounds per tire more then the standard 20" or 22" tire.

I have a 25. Rebel. About 1500 miles and it’s getting extremely bad. Gas mileage. With easy driving. I’m getting 10-13 mpg. And when I towed an aluminum trailer on the highway at about 70 mph. Trailer weighs 1100lbs. I got 9 mpg. What do you guys think. There has to be something wrong
 
Update at 5K

Around city - purely city street stop and go driving: 16MPG
Mixed city / HWY - flat roads: 18MPG
Mostly HWY at 75 MPH average: 20 MPG

City MPG is not impressive - it is only 1 MPG more than my Hemi.

I'm about the same for city and mixed driving. HWY I can get around 21-22mpgs. Now with the 22's I'm seeing a bit of a decrease though. I've always wanted them so I'm ok with them.
 
I will add my small sample size comparison. I just drove 4-1/2 hours to pick up a new Tungsten, so same miles out and back, same road. All the driving below was between 75-85 except an occasional work zone. Total miles, 320.

2024 Limited Hemi 5.7 eTorque, 3.92 - 16.5 mpg (13,000 on the truck)

2025 Tungsten SST HO, 3.92 - 15.8 mpg (340 on the truck)

Hope this new one gains a bit of MPG as it breaks in and gets some miles on it.....

That definitely seems low vs EPA miles. Hopefully it does break in a bit and start performing better.
 
Update from my post #12.

Drove the truck today for 200 miles at 72 mph and got 20.6! Much better than the 15.6 I got on the way home from the dealer, AND it was 40* today and we possibly could be on winter fuel here in MN?

Did some towing this afternoon as well. 20' enclosed trailer, 8' wide and 9' tall, empty trailer so about 2,500 lbs.

At 64 mph I got 9.5 mpg.

24' Limited Hemi eTorque with the same trailer, same road, same mph, about the same 9.5 mpg, maybe a hair better.

21' Ecoboost 3.5 with the same trailer same road same mph, BEST I ever got was 8.5, so there's a positive on that! Lol
