RE: Real Gas Mileage with automatic - 5/14/2008 7:52:30 AM    litesong   Posts: 78 Joined: 10/23/2006 Status: offline Hi outinolympia...I'm east of Everett. I love my SE Caliber as it is. But sounds like you would like more power. The CSRT with turbo-charged 280 HP when driven carefully, has been reported to get 30MPG in some cases. One person who added some performance mods, reported he turned 33MPG with his CSRT. I don't know what the CSRT actually averages tho. Hey, I'll look up fueleconomy.gov..............................  No luck. The gov't website has no CSRT listed.   (in reply to outinolympia) Post #: 121

RE: Real Gas Mileage with automatic - 5/20/2008 12:53:22 PM    Nightmusk   Posts: 1 Joined: 5/20/2008 Status: offline Just reporting in on my gas mileage.  2007 Dodge Caliber, 2.0L, 3500 miles.  With ~80% city/20% highway commute to work I'm getting a little over 27mpg.  On a recent trip from Detroit to Cleveland I got a hair over 33 mpg traveling between 65-67 mph.  Very pleased after coming from an Isuzu Rodeo 4wd that got 15mpg in the city and 20mpg on the highway. I actively attempt to keep the rpm's below 2500 when accelerating from a complete stop and around 2000 once I hit 25-30 mph. (in reply to litesong) Post #: 122

RE: Real Gas Mileage with automatic - 5/26/2008 4:23:11 PM    bigtsr Posts: 149 Joined: 6/4/2006 Status: offline The general rule of thumb dictates that any car with a standard transmission when driven with achieving economy in mind will give the best mpg and that includes the Caliber,the CVT tranny requires a gentle touch to come a close second place. _____________________________ Black SXT 2.0/CVT Security-Tint-Sill plates-shorty antenna-exhaust mods-painted engine cover-upholstered head restraints.

RE: Real Gas Mileage with automatic - 6/1/2008 4:03:24 AM    bigtsr Posts: 149 Joined: 6/4/2006 Status: offline The Caliber is NOT a flex-fuel car. The car will run the standard mix of up to 10% Ethanol which refiners blend into the 87 octane fuel. Check the EPA milage site and you will find your RT is in the ballpark for mpg if your figure is 80%city/20%hiway. _____________________________ Black SXT 2.0/CVT Security-Tint-Sill plates-shorty antenna-exhaust mods-painted engine cover-upholstered head restraints.
