What avg MPG do you get?

[vetto]

Almost at 1000 miles on my trip, this is my normal commute back and forth to work, part highway part city.
I just hit 18mpg average! What?
(I'm more than a little excited since my last vehicle got about 10mpg, 14 with a tailwind, and had zero cargo room or space for passengers)
Did I mention 18mpg?
89 octane Mobile fuel.

You didn’t mention what power train your running?
Bravo on the 18 mpg. I have a 5.7 with 10K on the odometer. I average about 15 mpg in town and 18 on hwy when not pulling a load and if I drive with a light foot. Pulling 5-6K lbs I averaged about 10 mpg, but it pulls like a freight train with that Hemi.

I rarely pull a trailer, and in fact I have never had one hooked up to this truck or loaded the bed. But yes, I am very happy with this as a daily driver.

If that's after only 1000 miles, then just wait. It will improve as the engine breaks in. There's a lot of friction in a new engine.
Lots of city traffic gets me maybe 14. Typically I see 19 mixed. Long trips always yield 21 and change, sometimes into the 22 mpg range. Same drivetrain as yours.

Sometimes I get annoyed that my wife's V6 Camry can give us 31 on a trip, but I have to remind myself that this V8 truck gives me much better fuel economy than the Cherokee it replaced

Man I don't know how you guys are getting this good mileage. I am averaging 13.7 with the 5.7 Hemi and Borla S-Type exhaust. I don't drive like an old lady but not WOT either. Granted most of my miles are city driving but still seems kind of low to me.

And to be clear I didn't buy the truck for gas mileage and am very happy with it.

Truck has 19k on it, but the 1000mile trip is since I owned it.
This replaced a 2000 Cherokee (weird coincidence, right?) and I am super stoked about not filling up twice a week. I hate getting gas.

First 500 miles on mine and I'm averaging 16.5 - mixture of short highway, bumper to bumper traffic for 30 mins (2x a day) and suburban roads in hilly western PA. All things considered, it's impressive as it's about the same mileage I was getting in my 2015 V6 Cherokee (seems to be a theme here!)

 

[Bits4brains]

I average about 11 to 12 mpg on my little stents around town. I have 59000 on mine and about to take a road trip to Texas. I'll report back after my trip to see what I get. In case you are wondering I just purchased this 2019 last month. This will be the first highway road trip for me.

 

[Whoa_Ram]

I've been averaging around 19-20mpg since I bought it in May. I'm at 9k miles now and still doing the same even with a small level and an exhaust.

My setup matches yours and my tanks are consistently between 19.7 and 20.1 mpg with 60% highway driving. I take off from stops like a granny, but cruise around 75mph.

I'm averaging 18.5 mixed driving with 8500 miles. About what was expected.

 

[Sascwatch]

I know I don’t have the hemi, but I am impressed with the mileage I get with the ecodiesel.

I drove to northern Ontario last week, drove bush roads all week then drove home and the truck is reporting this. I’ve actually gotten better mileage on the same trip before.

 

[Vinnie.]

almost 1500 miles on the clock. around town where i drive i usually see 13 mpg average is usually 13.3 range. just took a 68 mile roundtrip cruise on the highway the other day and averaged 18mpg!!! i was so stoked! 5.7 non etorque with 3.92 gears. i can't wait for an actual roadtrip to see what mpg i can get. i wasn't babying it on the highway either, averaging probably 75mph. highways around here are 55 or 65 mph. a few stretches of 70 mph.

 

[2001gw]

4500 miles on 2021 Limited, 5.7 eTorque, 3.92 rear axle. I am averaging 18.5 around town and on the one long trip on the Florida Turnpike (400 miles round trip) I got 19.6.

 

[~Ocho1~]

I'm right around 16.5 mpg with mostly city driving & a midweight right foot, lol. Truck has just under 7500 miles right now.

 

[Buz]

12.5 MPG. No highway.

 

[Night Rebel]

I get 13 mpg with all my driving being short local city driving. I took a 2 hour trip to the north Georgia mountains and easily get over 16 mpg. And that was loaded down and 80+ mph on the interstate. If i drove a mix of city and highway i could probably get 18 or so.

 

[GKIII]

15-18 mostly suburban driving. 20+ on the highway.

12.5 MPG. No highway.

lol. That answer was unexpected

 

[Captain Obvious]

2021 5.7 etorque, 3.92 gears, 4x4 Limited with Rebel wheels and 275/70r18. Average of 14-15mpg. Best on highway was 17.5 at 70-75mph. about 7k miles on it.
