redtomatoman Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I have noticed that my DJ gets its best gas mileage at 65-70 miles per hour. Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug D Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 +1! I noticed that too. Our 2010 Journey SXT with the 3.5L/6 speed routinely gets 25-26 mpg at 70 mph. Our last extended trip (500+ miles) it averaged 25.5 mpg - that was 150 miles of interstate driving (70 mph) and about 100 miles of hwy driving (60-65 mph) on US primary (4 lane hwy - not interstate) roads. Local driving yields 18-19 mpg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
