    I am averaging 19 with mostly highway driving. I recently put some 24's on it and I am down to about 16-17 mpg now.

    I seem to be getting about 23. My car is RWD and only has 2,800 miles on it.

    Most of my driving is stop and go bumper-bumper highway commute. Then a few trips around town.

    My last car, a 99 Chevy Lumina with a 3.1 V6 got exactly the same MPG but was MUCH less enjoyable to drive.
    My ride is a Marine Blue 2007 Charger SXT
    My only mod is Blastin Bob's dual exhaust with resonators.

    I average 20 to 23 daily driving, depends on how heavy my foot feels, but on the Highway, with CAI and duals, I've gotten 30.8. But that was a 9 hour drive from Oaklahoma.

    I just got back from a 400 mile road trip and with the 24's on it I averaged 21.5 MPG. Not bad I guess but I thought I would get better. I notice that my RPM's are lower on the highway due to the larger OD of the wheels/tires.

    Did you get you tire size changed? Bigger tires go around slower, but cover more ground - your mileage will vary...

    Add 5% more miles and redo the math and see what you get..

    I figure that at 60, I'm really doing about 63 and change just with going to the 255/55-18 KDW2's.
