Replying to: jacklionel (Jan 27, 2008 11:00 am) I have a 2005 R/T AWD with 57,000 miles on the odometer. I live in Rochester, New York. I get 16-19 mpg around town depending on how slow I drive. On the highway I get 19-20mpg cruising at 75 mph. I once got 24 mpg on a long, flat road with a tail wind at 55 mph. The mileage is below the advertised figures, but that has been the case with every vehicle I have ever owned. I knew buying the Magnum would be expensive in terms of gas, but it is so much fun to drive, REALLY comfortable on long trips (I'm 6'4" tall) and very safe (AWD, ABS, ESP and all those airbags). My las car was a 2000 Saab Aero Wagon. The Magnum is much more fun.
#35 of 36 Mileage 2006 AWD 5.7 by highlander01 Jul 01, 2008 (6:44 pm)
In the city avg. 17 mpg and on the hwy if I stay at 65 I can squeek 25 mi per gallon. In ND I use the blended gas 10% ethanol 89 oct.   We test drove a 3.5 liter and found it to be under powered and the gas mileage was about the same so we went with the Hemi. I feel it was the right choice for us and the driving conditions for what mother nature dishes out here on the northern plains.   I bought the car for road trips and we love it! Went on a trip to Denver with two other adults and all were happy with the ride.   50 k and still sounds like the day we brought it home from the dealership.

Replying to: pf_flyer (Jun 12, 2006 8:07 am) 06 RT AWD gets an avg of 17.5 with mostly town driving. Was around 16, but better with a K & N intake added. Much better power too. Does much better if you keep it under 2500 rpm and put it in neutral at stop lights.   If I drive it like I want to, about 12 is what you get!
