12 mpg city, we don't drive highway too much. We dropped a bit after getting tires with better traction. Used to be 12.5 on stock tires.

2007 Durango LTD.
AWD
5.7L
50 / 50 highway to city
Pittsburgh, PA
93 octane
computer calculation (on vehicle settings) = 13.8 mpg
27,000 miles on truck
mods are below on signature line, but am still in the process of fine tuning with an AWD dyno and installing a procharger or a roots syle supercharger. Ported heads and new exhaust and intake significantly helped with power and marginally with MPG,

2008 4.7L, 27,000 miles. 15 combined, got 17.85 on a 275 mile interstate sprint to Boston. Lowest was 13.5, when I first got it and kept flooring it. Lesson learned.

The costs of the parts (exhaust headers and cat back) will most likely negate and savings in MPG. Headers and a cat-back system can cost $1500.00 just for the parts, progammer cost close to $400.00 and ported cylinder heads cost $3,000.00. Labor cost to install? THese will improve the horsepower, not the fuel efficiency very much,
