Well the verdict is in as far as I'm concerned,had Tsb#18-031-07
performed 2 weeks ago and filled up the tank.
Using Mopar oil/filters with 100% city driving my mpg has gone
from 27 mpg/imp gal to 32.038 mpg/imp gal.
Taking in summer gas blend and warmer temps with 10532 kms/
abt 6200 miles on odo I am happy Caliber owner.
A plus to this is that the CVT lag or hesitation 0-25 mph is
gone,what a difference.

BigTsr,

What are YOUR secrets to getting good gas mileage ???

Jib01 I have no secret,I drive normally 99.9% of the time but when I
need to pass or get out a tight situation I will without hesitation hit
the pedal to the metal.
City driving I try normally to keep rpms below 2400 and I use cruise whenever
and where ever I can,saves on speeding tickets also.
One other thing I have noted is a decrease in rpm at specific speeds,
before TSB 100 kph(62.5mph) in cruise tach was 2300-2400 now
sits at 2000 rpm,hence better mpg.

 

Just a note to say that my rising MPG after a long cold winter, has now reached an OVERALL AVERAGE OF 30.0MPG. Hopefully, the MPG will continue to rise until my first year of ownership is over. Then, that will be the official overall average MPG.

 

I have a caliber se cvs trans 2.0 Mileage 36,600 miles normal driving 400 miles to a tank full
sometimes a little more thats about 31 miles to the gallon thats on race track gas stations here in Georgia.
Stay 65 or under , dont start out fast, tire pressure , air filter and change the plugs often.
The best thing of all stay away from the dealer for repair.
Also have a 2003 dodge 1500 with the smal v8 at 109,000 miles still runs like new.
Also have 1994 ford xlt pickup small v-8 with 185,000 miles runs good and air cond still works
Never had them at a dealer for repair---and the cost o---mi----
Thanks

 

I've known about odometer error, but have forgotten to figure my Caliber's odometer error. I lose 0.1 miles every 5 miles for an error of 2%. Therefore, my 30.0MPG is really 30.6 MPG. I now think I can obtain an overall average 31 MPG by the end of my first year of ownership(9/28/2007).

 

Just made new record for my car at 32.77 miles to the gallon
Intalled new bosh platinums in car , help gas mileage
2.0 cvt auto 37,000 miles on it still runs like new
run any were from 30--31 miles on gallon on avg.

 

Within 10 days of my first year of SE 2 liter gasoline Caliber w/CVTownership, this is an update. With 16,400+miles & 479 running hours, my average speed is 34+MPH. After a cold winter with low energywinter mix gasoline,where some tanks were below 25MPG, my Caliber had anoverall average of 28.4 MPG into early February. Withwarming weather(& a switch to higher energy summer mix gasoline), my overall average MPG began rising. Thru spring & summer, it rose, often getting 33+MPG & sometimes 34+MPG, till now my overall average for 50 tanks of gas is 31.3MPG. I'm v. happy. 2.9MPG doesn't sound like much, but that is comparing myself to myself, winter & the overall average. Compared to leadfooters, I have accomplished much. I have also averaged 32.7MPG going over 4000foot mtn passes from sealevel & have a highway high of 35.6MPG. I'm not a hypermiler, but my Caliberhas responded well to featherfooting.

 

I'm getting about 8.5 liters / 100 km in the city. What's this in MPG ??

2.0 SXT CVT in Durban, South Africa which is at sea level.

 

Hi Palehorse...Your 8.5 l/100mm is 27.67mpg(U.S.).
