Default Gas prices and the Durango?

How much are you guys paying at the pump and how many times a month do you need to fill up? With gas prices ever climbing I'm trying to get a sense of what I can expect from the Durango. V8 and V6 owners please chime in. Tia.

how about also listing how many miles you get on a fill up as this will likely be a better comparison than how often (days or weeks based) you fill up.

Default Mpg

My last tank was 426 miles and 19.6 gal = 21.73 mpg AWD V6

Best Highway 23.8 mpg

lowest avg 19.0 mpg

Towing 3,000 # = 16.5 mpg

DTE = 550 give or take

That sounds amazing! I got the R/T AWD and I get about 13.5-14 MPG

Miami my last fill up at $4.05g was $93, I was about bone dry.

I have a 2011 AWD Crew Lux V6 with 12000 miles, living in NY Long Island. I average 16 mpg around the neighborhood and 21-22 mpg on highway. I usually drive 65-70 mph on highway this using regular gasoline. When I tried E85 around neighborhood was 12 mpg and 16 highway. The price of e85 doesn't make it worthwhile to use so I went back to regular gas. If when posting gas mileage I think we should post where we live so it will reflect the type of driving that is being done.

2012 Crew, v-6, only 700 miles on the clock so far but in town around 16 to 17 mpg and a recent trip on hiway, was 20.2 mpg...not too bad for a 5500lbs truck. I expect the fuel numbers to improve as more miles are logged. Had a 2008 chevy tahoe and already like the increased fuel economy...Gasoline in Western Canada right now is $1.12 a litre or roughly just over $4.00 a gallon, but if the tank is bone dry, its $90 a fill......damn big tanks...

I certainly didn't buy a HEMI for the fuel mileage. It doesn't have a ridiculous daily commute although it is a daily driver and had 17000 miles in its first year of service. I just don't live on such a tight budget that I can't afford a $6/tank swing in fill-ups (quarter per gallon increase for 24 gals). We also buy our fuel from Costco which is 15 cents cheaper than the next lowest price.

15.5 mpg in daily driving.
