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

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.
