#4 of 23 Re: MPG Durango LTD Hemi 5.7L [horst1] by brian047 Aug 26, 2006 (4:14 am)
Replying to: horst1 (Jul 14, 2006 10:23 am) I drive a 2005 SLT Durango with a 5.7L Hemi. our mpg in the city using 89 octane is 16.5 M/G. and on the hiway 23.5 with the cruse set at 72 mph.this was calculated after returning from a 1400 mile road trip. I have checked my gas mileage on a weekly basis. Total mileage on the Durango is only 35625 miles.

#6 of 23 mpg accuracy by carlrjr Oct 22, 2006 (3:39 pm)
I've been pretty lazy about doing a proper 'full to full' MPG check with our 2001 4.7L Durango so the following numbers are based on the trip computer: We average around 14 mpg for my wife's soccer-mom driving style (50/50 highway/city) driving. If I drive like an MPG freak I can hit 18 MPG on the highway.   Does anyone know how accurate the trip computer is for MPG?
#7 of 23 2006 5.7 Hemi by t0ddnde Dec 02, 2006 (9:40 am)
I'm getting 14 mpg in town (lead foot) 19 mpg hwy 60 mph 17 mpg 75mph   This truck only has about 2K miles on it, so it is really not fully broke in. I hope to improve some.
#8 of 23 Gas Milage by xtheriot13 Dec 13, 2006 (12:12 pm)
We just purchased an 06 Durango SLT 5.7 Hemi. I have heard that the Gas mileage will improve once the engine is broken in, and from viewing your posts, I would have to agree because we are certainly not getting that kind of gas mileage. It is equipped with the MDS, so can anyone please give me a general idea of when we should expect to have reasonable gas mileage?
#9 of 23 Fuel Milage Computer by hon Dec 21, 2006 (10:47 am)
The computer is a farce. It tells you what milage your are getting at the time you look at it, not an overall milage. Usually when you look at the computer it is during ideal conditions, down hill, or some other condition. You need to have an overall milage check. The computer can not do that. That is why all these great fuel milages are reported. It's not a true milage evaluation.

#12 of 23 Fuel Mileage by famago Mar 26, 2007 (6:45 am)
I don't know if this anyone can calculate accurately but I am getting about 13 mpg in a 2000 Durango ( mostly city driving). Now with that said I have truck tires with aggressive treads, 4 wheel drive, limited slip, and tow package gearing if all that makes a difference.
#13 of 23 Fuel mileage when new by ballcoach Apr 07, 2007 (7:04 pm)
Have had an '07 SLT, Hemi, just over a week. Made a 600 mile round trip, got between 18-20 at 75 mph on the x-way, but around 12 around town. Satisfied with the highway mileage, but hoping the city mileage improves. Ride, however, was great. Replies to this message: jchappel (Apr 26, 2007 6:54 pm) rob1963 (May 11, 2007 7:01 am)
