RE: MPGag wtf is up with this
My 06 qc 4x2 slt has been averaging around 12 to 13 in the city. But I also have remote start soon cold daysit does get a chance to warm up and that eats at the mpg. I live less then 2 miles from work and so it has a lot of stop and go. As for Highway at around 75 I average around 17. I have driven one long trip at close to 60 and got around 21, but I can't drive on the highway that slow very often. It drives me crazy.

that picture was 25 miles after a fill up, and my pops borrowed the truck AND HE DRIVES LIKE AN OLD FART anyway he put 91 octane in it.
I don't sit and idle, like i said i get on it only once in a while (by the way i love gettin on it)... btw its crawled back up to 8.9 now.. ever since i bought the truck its been averaging 9-11mpg in the city, i assumed that was due to the "break in period" but now that i'm almost at 3000 miles.

uhhhh... youve got problems. do you reset the mpg reader when you get onto the hwy? if you do and its still at 13-14, go to the dealer and be like "wtf is this bull ****? sticker said xx mpg on hwy and im getting 13-14."

Whats ya'lls opinions on 13-14 mpg all hwy on an 06 QC 2wd Hemi? No matter how hard I try I can't get it any better.

I do nothing but highway driving and that isn't using the overhead, it usually reads in the 15-16 range, but hand calculated its around 13-14. Looks like a trip to the dealership is in order.
