improving gas mileage by edr2
Aug 13, 2007 (8:19 am)

I bought my Caliber 2 weeks ago. I've got now 1400 miles on it and I like everything so far. My only complaint is the gas mileage. At this point with mixed driving it gets about 22/23 mpg. Is it because it is new? Is there anything I can do to improve it?
Thank you for your help.

Which model Caliber do you have.Gas mileage varies greatly from the FWD to the AWD R/T

Get the newest TSB Flash, but if it's an R/T that is pretty much right for city driving. I average about 23mpg with my city driving.

My SXT with 2.0L engine CVT has been consistently around 29 mpg's for the 12 months I have had it with 75% highway..25% City...just an FYI and you should get your computer reflashed.

My wife has had her Caliber SXT 2.0 for about 3 months now. Her MPG started around 24, so I had the computer flashed, or at least the dealer said they did, and now she is getting around 22-23 mpg. I did notice an improvement in takeoff, so I guess they did do the update. I am not sure what else to try though. She does do a lot of city style driving.

My SXT 2.0 was about the same but I can assure
it fets better with more miles.
Don't ask for a magic number of miles when
it will happen,todays cars with adaptive
driving software can do funny things when
given erratic driving habits to contend with
and it will change as now I consistently
get 27-30 mpg US in the city.

Flo,
 
I can confirm 27 mpg in the city (about 60/40 for me). And it's a RARE road trip that I don't pop 30.
