Good fuel economy under city conditions in a vehicle of very useful size!

My 2007 has about 74,000 miles on it and going strong. Most of my driving is to and from work on I-95
70-75 mph. When in town I leave the traffic lights with a light touch on th gas pedal. I average 28-30 mpg.
I'm happy with the car.

We have a 2009 caliber se and we drove 1729 miles from Las Vegas to Wisconsin we drove 26 and a half hours at 70 to 80mph and spent $350 round trip om gas.. love the car it has 19000miles no problems... great reliable car and if you own a previous dodge you get a loyalty discount my gf had a 05 neon and got 6000 off the price so in the end we paid $13,000 for a 09 caliber instead of the 23,000

I have a 2008 caliber sxt this spring it failed inspection because it needed ball joints and tie rod ends. it only had 68,500 km, I am wondering if anyone else has had the same kind of problems... I also ended up going to the dealership and I had to put rods and things on the back end too... not sure of the right name... I really love my caliber, it is nice and high for getting in and out of and also handles well... wondering if anyone is having any other troubles as well.. thanks

I had a 2007 which went though 2 sets of suspension bushings at both ends plus tie rod ends. I am glad I had an extended warranty. I kept the car until it reached 60,000 miles and traded it in for a 2010 Dodge Avenger. Never had problems with the suspension on the Avenger.
Just bought a 2012 Avenger.
I am told that the Avenger has a different suspension so could explain things.
I liked the Caliber otherwise. The Caliber was very reliable as is the Avenger I have now.

A tank lasts about 100 miles city for me.
