Gas Milage 20mpg?

[YeOldeStonecat]

Have yet to get her above 15....seems to average low to mid 14's. I've spent a couple of days in a row feathering the gas pedal, cruise on the highway...just can't get above that 15 mark. Not a biggie..I didn't get her for mileage. But at just over 100 bucks per fillup, would be nice to see 20 now 'n then.

Anyone seen difference 'tween 87 octane and 89? Been sticking to 89 cuz of the manual.

my new R/T on the highway yesterday crusing in eco hit 30.9

 

[Docwagon1776]

My first fill-up and I averaged 14.9, mostly highway at 70-75. I'm just out of the break in period, though, so hopefully that will improve.

Finally crested 15.....spent the past couple of days bumping at 15.2 on the highways.

Getting tonneau cover in a few weeks, should improve it a bit.

Ultimately not worried about it....as gas in the tank goes through my company credit card. Guess it's just a mental barrier...hoping to see it average a little higher and see it crest 20 on the highway. I didn't buy her for mileage afterall.

I took a drive that was mostly highway (about 50 miles) and tried to really pay attention to how I was driving. i.e. holding the pedal at a steady spot, speeding up going downhill and slowing down going up, and I got 20.4 MPG....previously my best was 16.4...just my $.02

We're not bad...you're a little hillier than me (I down south of you...Waterford)....but the northwest corner sure is hilly.

Used to live near you long time ago..Storrs, Ashford, Coventry. Don't remember all that much but a few of my favorite bars at the time (was bask in the blurry late 80's and early '90's)

I have a 2011 and consistently get 17-18 on average with some city and mostly country roads. I took a road trip and got 19.7 then put a CAI on and made the same trip and got 20.8. It is definitely possible to get there and for those who only drive city i could definitely see only like 15 on average.

What is a CAI?

 

[suzukiquadrider]

What is a CAI?

A cold air intake. like a K and N in take system, replaces/upgrades stock airfilter system, can add a few horses and a bit of mpgs if you keep your foot out of it.

 

[Swen62]

Stock I was getting 16.2 after I installed volant cai I notice it was showing 16.8 and after I installed Mufflex exhaust I've been showing a steady 17.3. This not scientific by any means.But I have had my foot in it more now with that sweet exhaust sound so maybe it would be even better had I not.

My average on my last tank of fuel was 12.8 mpg. Not cool. But, that was mostly city driving and my city driving is starting it up, driving the 20 blocks to work, and shutting it off. Lol.

Gotta get my camaro going again.

 

[Sethjamto]

Well this is what i got this morning hahaha

Had to turn down my dash lights to take it

Don't we all wish! ;-)

ok, so no ******** pics here.......

This was taken yesterday. Filled up, went about 1.5 miles then hopped on the highway. 50 miles later, getting off the highway, snapped this. 67mph the entire way.

Truck is a 2010 Hemi 4x4, 3.55 gears and I'm running 34" Nitto Trail Grapplers (great for fuel economy! LOL). Superchips 93 tune / eFan

 

[blrmkrl83]

I just drove 425 miles today. Most of it was 60 or 65 mph, some 70-75 mph, and about 15 miles city. I reset the EVIC when I left and it said 18.7 mpg, but when I filled up it came out to 17.1. Still not too bad for 3.92 gears, only 1500 miles, and seeing what 390 hp can do a couple of times.

 

[Gardenfan]

Just got back from an unlock, about 100 miles roundtrip in the mountains. 20.5 avg mpg for trip.

Gas mileage driving to Dallas. Pic was taken about 20 minutes after I reset it

just did a lengthy trip up to new hampshire (from southern Connecticut) last weekend with the A/C on pretty much the whole time. averaged 19.4 the entire trip including all the town driving we did up there and then the ride back. rock solid if you ask me. take away the town driving and the AC and would have easily been 20-21mpg

 

[Miami Son]

Finally did a trip long enough (400+ miles) to get a real feel for actual mileage. Hit the advertised 20mpg for the first time.

Some of you guys must be resetting wrong. You need to do it right when you gas up, not after you've driven a bit or in the middle of a tank.

 

[Stroked]

^That's what I'm thinking. Mine will pull 18-22 on the highway. But the average is always pretty low.
