2014 Dodge Journey V6 Fuel Economy HORRIBLE
Hey guys,
I just purchased a new journey and i just cannot believe the fuel economy on this. According to my read on the dash im averaging 11 or 12 miles a gallon!
Is this a new car thing or what? If so, i may be preparing to do what i've never done, trade in this gas hog.
thanks,
Jeff

Assuming you have checked the engine air filter and the proper tire pressure
is present then that is bad mpg.
I drive 95% city and average 20 mpg US of course personal driving style
and geography play into the overall numbers.
Other than a dragging brake assy can't see reason for poor results.

You bought a new 2014 in September of 2015?
But that's not normal. Mom had one, a V6 and got about what jkeaton is reporting. My only complaint was having to replace pads and rotors at 9000 miles and you know a 68 year old woman ain't hard on brakes.
Only reason I traded and bought her a Hyundai is she had a hard time seeing out of it, especially in reverse. Could never get her used to using back up camera. The Hyundai fit her 4'11" height better...
