I have the habit of filling my tank whenever the message shows 'low fuel' and i monitored it.. I believe i cant be that wrong on my six fillings. My journey has 1406kms right now and have 76 km on distance to empty so it means approximately 1482km on my six fills averaging 247km/tank. I got my journey last august so i did summer and winter driving with it.. I will use fuelly.com as soon as i get my next fill and keep you posted! Thanks!

Thanks so much dodgecares and red! Talked to My dealer this morning and adress the issues! Informed them also about TSB on rough transmission and fuel economy, they say they will look on it and as what you and red said according to them its premature to do something about fuel economy until its broken-in! Im just jealous about some members on this forum having decent fuel economy even they're just having couples of thousands on thier new journeys! :-( Keep you posted on developments......

My NAV system cant understand my accent.. Have to ask real canadian to speak so it might be understood! My NAV is a racist... LOL :-))

With its 19900kms i could tell its broken in! I hope my journey gets better soon.. It was angular parked on tight parking spot when it got towed! The guy said he dont have a choice but to winch it side way! To think it on park position and AWD! I witness how it jerked and forced! hopefully it wont affect wheel alignment and hurt my hubs!

<blockquote class='ipsBlockquote'data-author="redtomatoman" data-cid="25892" data-time="1359333692"><p My journey's fuel economy improved steadily up to 8000 miles. I guess the engine has to break in before economy is optimal. Good luck.</p></blockquote> Ok i want to understand things because im really shock on what im eXperiencing right now! Do you experienced this high fuel economy on yours when your on your break-in period? And when you reach about 8k miles it went down remarkably!? Hope i get that also becuase its hurting me having 215kms for a full tank! :-((((

Plus getting towed and brought in to dealer twice in less less than 5 months and under 1500km is really un acceptable!

UPDATE!!!!!! I got a truck 2012 RAM1500 as loaner! And seroiusly im more impressed about regards of fuel ecOnomy! To think im driving HEMI 5.7L on this truck and im getting 17.6L/100km on it as oppose to my 30L/100km on my 2012 journey! So i could tell that there's really a problem about my 2012 journey! Im driving on same weather and same place. Getting way different fuel economy on 5.7L hemi as 17.6L/100km and 3.6 V6 as 30L/100km is unacceptable!

That looks very nice!!! Please give us feedbacks on how does it actually goes in the street.. Does it handles bumpy roads well? Does it differ with oem 19's when itcomes to comfort riding? Let us know.. By the looks of it we're starting to think about having 22's!! :-)))

Woah woah, too many same post! Must be the connection problem. Sorry about this! I dont k ow how to delete ..

Talked to my dealer yesterday and scheduled to be towed today.. My dealer asked too many question seems looking for reason to nail me! Lol I think its the perfect time to adress some other issues regarding my journey such as my very poor fuel mileage and the TSB about flashing transmission! My evic says im averaging 30.8L/100km before it went dead. Not so impressed.. But i love driving it. My journey is just 1408 km. first my airbag lit and now its dead!

My journey is dead now! None of the function is working.. All i did was remote started it.. I did saw it responding with the light flashing as a sign so i did assume its all good! When i got in the car the dashboard was lit but i didnt notice that engine isnt running so i pressed the ignition start and all the light in the dashboard was lit for few seconds and start to make some noise like when you pess panic button! It hapeened for say 10 seconds and i cant stop it. Until when i press panic button on fob! It stopped but after that its totaly dead! I cant even lock the doors or open windows! Even the lock button on outside handle dont function! Is there anybody experienced like this! Any suggestion?

<blockquote class='ipsBlockquote'data-author="Brucebotti" data-cid="25776" data-time="1358857215"><p> I think the mileage is decent for the size of the vehicle. I have a 2012 SXT with the pentastar V6. I only have 3,000 miles, and I am averaging 20mpg. I have had a low of 17.5 in all city driving. On a 400 mile round trip with seven of us aboard, I averaged 25.1. So far I am very pleased with the vehicle and the mpg.Bruce</p></blockquote> Oh yeah, that was impressive compare to my low 33L/100km or 7.+ MPG on my 2012 journey r/t

<blockquote class='ipsBlockquote'data-author="Windancer" data-cid="25757" data-time="1358777918"><p> I agree 15 minutes of iding will make a huge difference to any gas mileage calculations. Chris, PM me with an email address and <span class='bbc_underline'>your</span> dealer and I will copy you in my email to <span class='bbc_underline'>my dealer</span>. Have you talked to your dealer? If so what did they say? This may sound stupid but are you running too rich? say a choke staying on too long? Maybe DodgeCACares can help you out. I hate to say it but maybe you have to take it out on the highway down to say Kenaston and back.<br /> <br /> Don't forget to PM me an email address.<br /> <br /> Terry</p></blockquote> Hi terry im not allowed to do private message since i just need to post more comments first. I discussed this issue to my dealer before when i brought in because my airbag was lit. For some ridiculus reason the service man says i have to talk about this to my sales represenative because he knows more about it.. Confusing eh? So i went to him tell my issue and he said "you cant trust the evic what it says because when ur idle it actully 99 or more liters / kms. When he said that i just shut up because thats bullshit. And thats not true! Because it also match my distance to empty. Btw, what do you mean by running too rich? And the choke thing? I dont know about it. Can we control the choke on it. What i just observe is when u use remote start the rpm sits higher than normal when u press the botton start. Anyway this is my email add. calcedo1276@yahoo.com my dealer is "auto clearing saskatoon" cant wait to drive it on highway! Hope fully its a good experience.

Mine is like f*^kin 37cents per kilometer roughly! Rough estimation, i have a habit of filling my gas whenever the evic says "low gas" my full is $79 depending on gas prize but the lowest so far highest was $89. I filled 6 times so its $80x6=$480. My journey is 1387km rignt now and still having 90kms DTE acording to evic fuel economy! So it is having a total of 1477kms for that 6 fills. $480/1477=.37. Im fully not impressed..

<blockquote class='ipsBlockquote'data-author="Windancer" data-cid="25192" data-time="1356187385"><p> <br /> Chris<br /> <br /> I live just south of you in Regina, I would have a talk with your dealership as your mileage is much to high. Although this time of year and winter on the prairies is not kind to gas mileage. Right now I am only getting 18.5 liters/100 kms. with all the idling and "warming" up I seem to do. Since I bought the car in August 2010, I have used 85 fillups and averaged 15.7 liters/100 kms., this is still somewhat high but shows what the Journey is capable of.<br /> <br /> If you click the My Fuelly logo below it will show everything. Interestly enough in October using higher octane fuel I drove up to Saskatoon and back and I got 9.3 liters/100 kms.<br /> <br /> Getting back to your post, I would have a talk with your dealership about you poor gas mileage.<br /> <br /> Terry<br /> <span rel='lightbox'><img src='http://www.pbase.com/windancer/image/146733255.jpg' alt='Posted Image' class='bbc_img' /></span></p></blockquote> Hi terry, I would appreciate if you talk to your dealer about my poor fuel economy! It went even worse this winter.. It range from 28-33L/100km with 7-15 mins of idling before i drive. I dont know if remote starter have to do with it. I tried to reset the fuel economy on evic 2 times when im actually moving to see the difference with fuel economy with out idling and still it never goes down to 20L/100km! Mine is on 1380kms now!

Mine is sitting on 28-33L/100km with atleast 7mins idling before i actually drive. Pure city driving! Still not so impressive.. Tried to reset fuel economy on evic after idling when i started moving i got best of 21.4L/100km. Did it again i got 23.1L/100km Now im on my 1380km on my journey r/t. Im so jealous to those getting 10s on thier fuel exonomy! Is there anything wrong with my journey? I never tried it on highway yet! Hopefully its not as bad..

Ooppps, i realized i put this topic on the wrong section. Im sorry, my bad!
