245/70R17's with 3.55

18.2 for the city....if im nice....15.9 if im not

right about 24-26 on the hwy....again if im nice lol

the only thing i did was put on an Airaid quick fit intake and the intake tube from an 04 3.7 Liberty which eliminated the resonator.

Just figured it last night. About 16 highway and 10 city. Average between the two on the overhead console for my last tank was 13.1. The console said I had 0 miles left when I pulled into the gas station. I filled it, put 24.90 gallons in it. So, technically that overhead guage was off by about a gallon and a hair more. My trip said I had 319 miles on the tank. If I wanted to push it, I probably could have got 330 miles before I would have been running on fumes.....

Took my 2005 QC Hemi on a road trip up into the shenandoah mts and got about 17.9 MPG. Not bad, I would say.

2005 2500 QC 4x4 CTD. Only have a little over 500 miles on it. Got 14.5 mpg on first full tank (manually calculated). I thought diesel was suppose to be better than the hemi on fuel economy. Is my foot really that heavy??? I know it'll get better the more miles I put on it.

My 4.7L averages 13 mpg and that's 50% city, 50% highway. And I drive fairly conservatively also. So I have a hard time believing people who claim 20 mpg with these trucks. I manually calculate with each fill-up and check it against the computer.
