Default What kinda gas mileage do you get out of your R/T???

Just curious what kinda mileage other R/T owners are getting. My average is slightly over 16mpg, though I some how managedslightly over 17mpg this time around. Just recently changed to a Fram AirHog air filter, but not sure that accounts for mpg increase.

Wow, there's definitely something not quite right about that......

I was averaging about 30-31mpg highway and about 24mpg on the street in mine...... 2002 R/T coupe - 5spd manual - lowered

I made a few runs from Indianapolis to Merrillville and back to Indy, roughly 350 miles round trip.....and still had a little less then a 1/4 of a tank left....

Averaged about 32mpg on the trip...


I just used my cruise control quite frequently and had an air intake on it...

I've been thinking about getting a tune-up for starters and then I'll go from there. Any idea what a tune-up runs at the dealership?

I'd look elsewhere other then the dealer....you'll probably need lube....

Seriously though, it sounds like something just isnt running right on your car. Could be a bad plug, filthy injectors, bad air filter, ora combination of those and more.....

well i found a website set up by the government that tells you the actual mpg u should get with your car instead of epa of the time to find your mpg go to http://www.fueleconomy.gov then search for your car. I just found out that my car is getting 17.5 and they estimated on the website to be 18 so it is accurate. IDK how u guys get that 20 around town without really really babying it. Look it up and see wut ur mpg should be there could be nothing wrong with your car idk.

I wouldnt put a whole lot of faith into that site....

I didnt baby my car around town, but I did use cruise when I was on long strips of street or highway areas....and I kept my car in good repair/maintenance.

The EPA on the car if I remember right was 21 city and 28 highway....but unless I really dogged the car around town.....I was getting better then 21mpg....
