Real Gas Mileage with automatic
#152
I was read in one article, Dodge Caliber previously offered an especially fuel-sucking all-wheel-drive R/T trim, that option has been discontinued for 2009. The top-end Dodge Caliber SRT4 packs a 285-horsepower, 2.4-liter turbocharged engine under the hood and includes a bevy of high-performance equipment and styling changes.

I have been driving my Caliber highway only for the first time since I bought it in Dec. 2009. I've been doing this for about a week or so. I usually average between 26 and 29. I am now averaging 30.2 - I also commute with traffic. I'm just kind on my pedal. It'll probably get ruined when I hit traffic on Monday. If not, I'd like to see how good this can get!

I have a 2007 SXT and I do easily 8L/100km on the highway which is about 29.5 mpg in US units. A bit less in city driving but 75% of my driving is at highway speed. It's all about your driving style. Try to drive with a "hyper-miling" approach! Slow acceleration, predictive stops, i.e. when starting at an intersection and see that the next light is red, don't reach full speed, accelerate only when the next light gets green, that saves gas and brakes!

Is mine weird ?
I just picked my Caliber up Yesterday. It had 8 mi. when I got it. We drove home about 78 mi. and filled it up just to see. It got 31.7 mpg. that is figured the old way. Mi/Gal. Don't give a hoot about the display the one on the Nitro I traded in was never even close, don't know how it works but my GPS was a lot closer than the display. I can't wait for it to get some miles on it to see what happens. it will also soon get a K&N Filter and Flowmaster if it goes any thign like my last three vehicles those two things will work wonders on MPG. Just my 2C. Charlie
