Wow, that's great mileage. How many miles are on your car? Did your MPG get better over time once your vehicle got more miles on it?

Well after 26k and using Ams oil and filter and new tires . I am getting 21 with mixed conditions. I love the car so as long as it stays close to this i am fine with it.

Now that it's colder out, I'm struggling to get 18mpg and that's 90% highway. MPG gets worse with colder temps, right? Or is it the other way around?

I average around 20MPG for my RWD RT, gotten as high as 26MPG on a long 250+ mile trip before, yours will be worse though since it's an AWD as AWD systems have worse fuel economy, the AWD RT is 17/23 vs the RWD's 17/25, only 20 miles is to short to get any sort of reliable mesurment anyways.

20 miles is too short for an average, but running 20 miles at a steady speed on the highway should tell me what the "best" mileage I should get is.
