2012 Crew, AWD, 3.6 pentastar
12,000km on the clock. Just got back from a 3,000km vacation trip through various terrain, mountains, flat road and everything in between, 110km/h speed limits, hot weather (30 C) and averaged 24 mpg for the entire trip (as stated on the evic computer) Generally in town, 18mpg and hiway 22-24 mpg. Drove from Kalispell MT to Edmonton, AB (approximately 800km) and still had an 1/8th of a tank left. Very happy indeed.

Just checked my first full tank and got 14.6. The computer says 16.5. That's no highway driving, mostly very short trips on country roads. With a hemi AWD.

Someone else wondered what the interval the computer used- the last 50miles? the last 100? That would be interesting to know.

I do about 3/4 of my time as in town driving and the rest is highway. I'm averaging 13 MPG. I'm also an aggressive driver. But, the few long highway drives I've been on, I have averages at least 19 MPG.

Crew man,

Gotta love the 3.6L Pentastar, it's the most advanced six-cylinder engine in the history of Chrysler. It will not only deliver improved fuel efficiency, but has more power and reduced emissions.

Glad to hear your vehicle is meeting your expectations.
