#2 of 36 Re: Dodge Magnum: MPG-Real World Numbers [pf_flyer] by lennysky Jun 14, 2006 (6:34 am)
Replying to: pf_flyer (Jun 12, 2006 8:07 am) I have a 2006 RT RWD. I use 89 octane. Most of my driving is city traffic, and I usually average around 16 - 17 mpg. When I did drive some highway mileage, I would average around 18 - 19 mpg. But, now that summer is here and it's getting hotter out, I'm finding my mpg dropping when using the AC. So, I'm probably around 14 - 15 mpg city when using AC. So, with gas prices, I just have to sweat a little more!

I have 2005 SXT with the 3.5 V6. I live in Louisiana, so the A/C is on year round even if it's cold out because it's so dang humid you have to keep it on turned to hot to defog the windows. I have been getting about 20 in town and 23 hwy which I am very pleased with. I don't drive like a granny either! Granted it's not the 32 I got with my old Geo Prizm, but I'll take it! At least I can compete in traffic now!
#4 of 36 2005 Magnum RT AWD by glene319 Jun 27, 2006 (7:11 am)
Gas mileage. Rated 17-24. My all round driving mpg is 16.5, on total miles. I have gotten 23.3 on the highway, but was traveling right at 60 mph. Any time you get up to around 70 the mileage goes down. On a recent trip, going between 65-75 mph, I got 20.5 mpg. I consider that good, considering the 340 HP engine. This Magnum is probably the quietest car I have ever owned. No wind noise at all, rides great on the highway, too.
#5 of 36 2006 Magnum SXT RWD Real World MPG by gboomer Jul 10, 2006 (7:33 pm)
I just got my black pearlcoat magnum SXT RWD over Memorial Day weekend. I LOVE this car. The wife calls it our gangster car. It is the most quiet, smooth riding car I've ever driven. I drive 114mi round trip every day 30/70 city/hwy and I no longer need a nap after the long commute. If I keep it 70mph and under, I get 25, but that's really difficult in this car since it handles and rides like a dream. I'm getting the front windows tinted tomorrow to match the rear, then I think I'll change my last name to Soprano
#6 of 36 Gas Mileage by midnightblumag Oct 07, 2005 (7:28 am)
I just purchased a new 05 RT and am experiencing only 18-19 mpg on the highway. I drive 135 miles a day with all but 15 miles or so on the highway and am averaging around 70-75 mph. Can I expect my mpg to go up as the engine breaks in or is 18-19 the real average mpg on these cars? I didn't buy the car for the gas mileage on my commute but I am hoping that the window sticker average is somewhat close.

Replying to: midnightblumag (Oct 07, 2005 7:28 am) Midnight, Mine had only 1500 miles when I took a 1200 mile trip about the same speeds as you and quite a few spurts to get around people. My first tank got 20mpg but my second got almost 23. Both using manual figuring. I have also noticed much better acceleration since I passed 2500 miles, give or take a few.
#8 of 36 2005 R/T Gas Mileage by bbfd86 Mar 10, 2006 (10:07 am)
I just bought a 2005 R/T showroon demo which had ,5000 miles on it. I now have 7,800 miles on it. My mileage is not good so far - 13-14 around town and a maximum of 17.5 on the highway (cruise control at 75mph on the NY State Thruway). I have a ski box on the roof and four continental high speed rated snows. The dealership checked the car over - they think its the ski box and snows that are driving the MPG way down. Am I expecting too much? My previous car - a 2000 Saab 9-5 Aero Wagon - showed no drop in MPG with snows and a ski box.

Replying to: bbfd86 (Mar 10, 2006 10:07 am) Don't remember where I read it, was an article about gas mileage, might have been cr. The roof box will definately effect your mileage.

Replying to: bbfd86 (Mar 10, 2006 10:07 am) My RT gets 25 mpg at 65 cruise, 27 mpg at 55 cruise, and 17 mpg in mixed driving. Maybe the Amsoil, K&N, and 22" tires help!??!
