Was that calculated with the meter on the console or by hand?

I can buy it. I have had my 05 Hemi 4x4 get 19. Hell my SRT got 18.6 on a 400+ mile trip home when I bought it, I average 9.9 now :D

I've got an 05 QC hemi with just under 22000 miles on it. I used the reading on the console but last time i checked it by hand it was saying 12.7mpg but i actually got 13.8 out of that tank. When i stopped to put gas in after i got back from the tripI had 450 miles on with one tank of gas. Since i didn't fill the tank i couldn't check actual mpg against the computer.

Steady 60 mph tests are very valuable
to check the 'health' of your pickup
and the MPG's are surprising.

the only mods I've done are a K&N drop in filter and the corsa exhaust.
