Fuel Efficiency - 1/3/2008 11:45:53 PM    JBattley   Posts: 46 Joined: 10/14/2007 Status: offline  So what is everyone getting for average fuel economy on their trip computers? I am getting 18.1(13mpg) liters per 100K average - which is rather disgusting. Car is the 2008 RT AWD with 3700KM Conversion to MPG can be done with google: http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=18.1litre+per+100+km+to+mpg&btnG=Search&meta= Just change the numbers around and you can post your mpg or liters per 100k so everyone (no mater where they are from) knows it. My driving style is medium aggressive - I accelerate fast but I certainly do not pin it. Post #: 1

RE: Fuel Efficiency - 1/4/2008 7:13:10 AM    Avenger_GA   Posts: 27 Joined: 9/5/2007 Status: offline I'm getting about 18.5 mpg using a K&N Air filter (improved things by about ~1.5-2 mpg) here in the Southeastern United States... moderate acceleration (with the occasional tire smoking just to show the Camaro next to me whats up) and a mix of Highway/city driving. _____________________________ Inferno Red 1998 Avenger ES Black Crystal Pearl 2008 Avenger R/T with all the goodies...

RE: Fuel Efficiency - 1/4/2008 2:20:18 PM    needforsleep   Posts: 75 Joined: 5/13/2007 Status: offline 26-28mpg with 2.4L FWD SXT.  I drive 50% city and 50% highway.  If I drive all highway I get 30mpg easily if driving 70mph or faster.  If I drive 55-65mph I get 34mpg easily. _____________________________ 2008.5 Dodge Avenger SXT - 2.4L Steel Grey - All Options Including REN MyGig + Rear Seat Video (in reply to dodge r/t) Post #: 6

RE: Fuel Efficiency - 1/4/2008 11:40:03 PM    JBattley   Posts: 46 Joined: 10/14/2007 Status: offline  Hrrm seems I am getting very poor results compared to everyone else! by 6 or more liters per 100K in the RTs... My next post about tires is about to likely blow the lid off of the issue... (in reply to JBattley) Post #: 7

RE: Fuel Efficiency - 1/6/2008 6:48:33 AM    fenderman   Posts: 36 Joined: 6/4/2007 Status: offline I get 13-15 mpg with spirited city driving. If i use cruise control on the highway at about 65-70mph i get about 24-26. I think you just need to take it easy on the acceleration. Also I use 87 octane not the recommended 89 so that might might make a diff. (in reply to JBattley) Post #: 8

RE: Fuel Efficiency - 1/6/2008 11:25:42 PM    futil   Posts: 332 Joined: 9/11/2007 Status: offline I was getting an average of 18 MPG City but I have since been beating on my car quite a little bit more lately then I have in the past so as of this month my current MPG for the month is.. You're gonna love this.. 8 MPG.. But then again that's with me driving on side roads with 30 MPH signs doing an average of 56 MPH with top speeds averaging 103 MPH..  I don't have highway mileage since I avoid highways on my way to work because there are less police activity and traffic on the side roads I use. I was going to buy a Charger SRT8 but decided later on that the Avenger should be more fuel efficient.. Guess I was wrong.. Well unless the SRT8 gets 1 MPG :) I have an Avenger R/T with 2034 miles on it and a K&N Air filter. < Message edited by futil -- 1/6/2008 11:34:47 PM > (in reply to fenderman) Post #: 9

RE: Fuel Efficiency - 1/7/2008 5:02:48 PM    JBattley   Posts: 46 Joined: 10/14/2007 Status: offline You do realize we are talking about the larger engine in the R/T right? 13mpg is the best I get as an average - and I am far from flooring it. It is winter - I would spin out, or stutter start thanks to ESP. (in reply to JB6) Post #: 11

RE: Fuel Efficiency - 1/8/2008 1:18:43 AM    GermanDodge   Posts: 3 Joined: 1/4/2008 Status: offline not really an option here: 1l unleaded is over $2 ~ $7,50 a gallon. diesel is the way to go. (in reply to JBattley) Post #: 12

Every time I look at their webpages the RT is not advertised :) Even on the charger with the same engine last time I looked... (in reply to Voodoo Avenger) Post #: 14
