My R/T AWD gets 20 MPG and that includes jackrabbit starts. My average MPH is 35 since most of the roads I travel on are 35-40. When I travel highway, I get around 25. I dont have the add on computer so my milage is calculated the old way.

I've only had my car now for about 800 miles but so far the mpg has been poor...at least on the highway. I typically get the 15/16 mpg in the city but I was expecting to get approximatley 25mpg when going 55 mph. Well, I'm getting about 20 mpg (at best)at 55mph and that is really bad. My overall average is low to mid 17 mpg's, quite a drop from my previous 200 hp '98 Grand Prix GT where my overall average was 23 mpg. Hopefully the Avenger's mpg will improve a bit after driving it for a few thousand miles.

You can compare the fuel economy of eachAvenger on the Dodge website..
Go to http://www.dodge.com/en/2008/avenger/
Click on Specs and Upgrades on the right hand side of the screen.
Click on the Technical Data tab.
Fuel Economy is under the powertrain catagory.


SE FWD - 2.4 Liter Inline 4 Cylinder
Fuel Economy MPG City - 21
Fuel Economy MPG Hwy - 30
Fuel EconomyCombined - 24

SXT FWD L Package - 2.4 Liter Inline 4 Cylinder
Fuel Economy MPG City - 21
Fuel Economy MPG Hwy - 30
Fuel EconomyCombined - 24

SXT FWDM Package - 2.7 Liter V 6 Cylinder
Fuel Economy MPG City - 19
Fuel Economy MPG Hwy - 27
Fuel EconomyCombined - 22

R/T FWD - 3.5 Liter V 6 Cylinder
Fuel Economy MPG City - 16
Fuel Economy MPG Hwy - 26
Fuel EconomyCombined - 19

R/T AWD - 3.5 Liter V 6 Cylinder
Fuel Economy MPG City - 15
Fuel Economy MPG Hwy - 24
Fuel EconomyCombined - 18
?
So according to this, a much larger, higher hp/torque Charger SXT gets better gas mileage than an Avenger R/T?
