After two tank fulls of gas Im averaging about 15mpg and that is a mix of baby/highway/aggressive driving. My Magnum R/T averaged about 17mpg. At 15mpg its not as bad as I thought it would be and I hear it can do better but Im assuming thats babying it all the time which I'm incapable of doing. The 15mpg is with only the Predator tune as a mod.

Whats your average?

After four years of owning my Mag R/T, four years of harsh winters and hot summers, four years of highway road trips and street-light stomping, it all boils down to one number:

15.

26+ highway and roughly 19 combined (I do more HWY than city). Of course, that is with the MDS which will soon be going bye-bye.

I run about 14.7 on a full tank strictly driving to work and back which is about 70% city driving. On a recent trip to Canada I averaged 24.3 including idling at the border and some rush hour traffic in Seattle.

Haha, my evic says about 7.5 right now, but i wouldnt exactly say ive been driving normal. Exhaust just put on the new car so its a little tough to just cruise without stomping it here and there.

24 to 27 with mixed driving for me in my 3.5. I expect better with warmer weather and more highway driving. Gotta love the V6!

Best I can muster is 22 mpg highway and 19-20 running around town with my 3.5 v-6 AWD.

Are you 2 wheel drive or AWD?

I'm two wheel drive. I figured that all the extra running gear wouldn't help gas mileage.

Thanks, that makes me feel a little better. Here in central PA the AWD feature comes in handy at least 3-4 months of the year.

Driving the 300c awd I just bought home from Nc back to Ky 270 some miles, it showed an average of 23.5 to 24.5 mpg I didn't do a hand calculation yet, but if it's anything like my 07 ram 6.7 dsl hand calculation will be around 3 mpg less than the computer shows.

Pretty much a constant 16.8-17.0. Mostly highway driving, but about as aggressive as you can get....pretty much all the time.

Last fill up was 32 liters at just over 300kms and the prior tank was 395kms at 43 liters. This equals out to approx 26-28 avg miles per gallon.This is with about 70% highway driving. Strict highway driving should yield 35. My gear ratio is 3.64 which I think helps around town because the engine doesn't work hard to get moving. At 65 mph the gearing maybe a little short with the revs at about 2100 2200rpm. Any faster and mpg seems to go down. 3:55 might be the best overall ratio.
