We recently purchased a 2013 Durango SXT with the 3.6. I wanted a '14 with the 8 speed but needed a vehicle and did not want to wait. I'm pleased with the MPG we are getting. In everyday driving it gets 21-22 and on a recent 1200 mile road trip it got 25. Hopefully it will get a little better when it gets a few more miles on it, currently has 2500.

 

I'm at about 7k, its getting 23-24 daily driving. I went on a 1k mile road trip
This weekend and was getting 28 highway. Dropped to about 17 up hills.
Not bad.

 

We have a 13' 3.6 with 2k and my wife does a ton of stop and go all day long and by calculating the correct way she's getting 18.5. The lie o'meter is pretty close to the same which is a first that I've ever seen.

 

Congrats on the new Durango and welcome to the forum.

 

The '13 SXT is everything I expected it to be. I has no issues, is smooth and quiet. Many people like to slam Chrysler products. As a field rep(retired) for Chrysler, I had 50+ new vehicles in 29 years and can count on one hand, the number of times I took one to the shop for anything other than an oil change. I have had numerous personal Chrysler products that gave 100k plus of trouble free service. I traded a '98 Grand Cherokee with 193k for the Durango. It was still very capable of reliable road trips. I firmly believe that good maintenance is the key to long vehicle life. In addition to oil changes(5k), my vehicles get transmission and differential service(50k), brake and ps fluid changes(turkey baster method, every other oil change), coolant change
(5yr), air filter(25k) and timing belt(100k).

 

Hmmm all V6 results on here, well my R/T AWD is getting.......12.4 mpg steady with 1500 miles on the clock. in town driving only to and from work 7 miles each way.

 

You better give me those white wheels...your gas mileage is dropping too fast in town. You were getting almost 14 before
I'll pay shipping...it's really no problem
STEVE

 

Lol Steve, I have been driving with the windows down and really driving it spirited so I can hear the engine and exhaust roar. The side effect bad mpg's..wheels not for sale yet.

 

When I went to look at my Durango, I was going to look at a Black with the 3.6 hoping to get a good deal better mileage than the LR3 I was looking to get out of.

Ended up getting a better deal on a demo Mineral Grey with a Hemi. I occasionally tow a boat and trailer so I'm glad I got the bigger motor. Downside is mileage isn't as good as the LR3 but I've got 60 more hp so that's to be expected. Luckily, I live in a pretty rural area so I'm getting 16.6 so far with local driving. Hit 18.6 overall on a 6 hour trip recently - didn't reset gauge, the 16.6 went up to 18.6 during trip. Now that I'm home among the stop lights, back down to 16.6. Not bad overall IMO. 22 to 23 would be nice though. lol

 

I have a '12 rt awd with 27k on it. Have had it for a month or so. Drive mostly to work, which is very hilly roads of west virginia. I was getting 13.5 avg on 93 but am getting 14 now on 89, which makes no sense.

I was using 93 at first, and was maybe enjoying the hemi a little too much.
