YOUR RIGHT ABOUT WHERE YOU BELONG. MY CONSOLE SEEMS TO READ HIGH COMPARED TO ACTUAL FIGURES, BY ABOUT 1/2 TO 1 MPG. I JUST PUT THE MOPAR COVER ON SO I DON' T KNOW IF IT HELPED YET. I ONLY HAVE 7800 MILES ON MINE AND DO ABOUT 50/50 CITY HIGHWAY

RE: 5.9 Fuel Economy question ??
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.....

Have you looked into getting a throttle body spacer the manufactures say it saves on MPG, but I haven't read anywhere to back that up. Can anyone out there confirm? Its pretty cheap $90 - $130.
