RE: Miles per gallon- What are you getting?
My '05 Hemi QCab 4WD just went over 4500 miles this week. I haven't reset the electronic trip/mpg meter in the past 3 tankfuls and I'm at 15.0 mpg. I drive a lot of rural roads, longest straight roads are about 4-5 miles. Not much city driving, maybe 3 or 4 miles per day.
I can live with the 15.0, sure I wish it was better, but I didn't buy it for fuel mileage. That's what my '80 Toyota p/u is for. It ain't very fast but it sure is ugly!!
