#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!??!
#11 of 36 Gas Mileage SXT AWD by sxtawdguy Apr 12, 2006 (6:01 pm)
Hello,   does somebody has a realistic gas mileage for an 2006 SXT AWD ????
#12 of 36 1 BA 05 SXT by hop44b Nov 04, 2006 (11:58 am)
I have a 05 SXT and on a trip across the U.S. from CA to NY with the car loaded(5200lbs!!)I stop at truck scales, I averaged 26 MPG 85 MPH. The only mod I did to it was a Stage 1 JET Proformance chip. Before I shipped it to Germany were I'm now Stationed(ARMY) I put a MAGNAFLOW Exhaust on it and played with the intake. I had it DYNO'D and came out with 302HP and 298TQ on 92 Octane. Over here heads turn when I roll by. The Germans have not seen anything like it even though Magnums are sold over here as 300 wagons.
#13 of 36 Anyone have the 2.7 190hp engine? by billwfriend Nov 14, 2006 (8:45 am)
Looks like most of the Magnum owners have the V8 or the 3.5 V6... anyone like to share their MPG with the 2.7 engine? 21/28 supposedly...
#14 of 36 How to measure and improve MPG by mulder_fbi Nov 20, 2006 (3:36 pm)
How are you guys measuring mpg? Are you use the avg MPG in the trip computer?   Any tips for getting better MPG other than:   - having proper tire air pressure - getting rid of excess weight - going easy and steady on the gas pedal - having a clean air filter
