redtomatoman Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Just got back from an 950 mile trip through Colorado with the DJ. Averaged right on 30 mpg on the EVIC. Didn't check it at home, but checked it mid-way and it was 0.4 over. So, at least 29 mpg through the Colorado Rockies. High point at about 9000 feet. I'm pretty damn impressed. Had ample power to make lots of FAST 2 lane road passes. Man the DJ has power when you need it! Peace.

Journey_SeXT Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Yup, I must say that I'm pretty happy with the fuel consumption too. Although, if Dodge (Fiat) wants to improve it to even better numbers who am I to argue with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onecrazyfoo4u Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Me too! I just got back from a 2000 mile roundtrip vacation from California to Idaho. On the way there I averaged about 26.5 mpg (lots of uphill). On the way back I averaged about 28 mpg (lots of downhill). I run 5W-30 Mobile 1 and 87 octane fuel all the time. My 2012 Crew DJ FWD has 53,000 miles on it now. I had ~450 lbs in passenger weight, and ~500 lb in luggage/cargo weight. Not bad numbers for a 5200 lb fully loaded vehicle! Speed limit through Utah is 80 mph for a lot of it. So these numbers were cruising at 75-85 mph for most of it. And this was driving in a lot of 100-110 deg F weather too. I had to shut off the A/C for a little bit on some of the big uphill sections since the coolant temp was rising above 230deg F. Still very impressed with the mileage!

B4ZINGA Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Good to see others pulling good numbers. I don't buy cars for fuel economy since my commute is 6 miles round trip of stop-n-go, often sitting through 4-5 traffic light cycles at two major intersections. I get about 16.5 MPG average like that. I do manage to get 27-29 on the highway at about 70 MPH if traffic isn't a pain. I'm at 3600 miles now, hoping it improves as the engine continues to break in.

jkeaton Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 We just got back from a 1100 mile round trip to Florida. Averaged around 26-27 with the AC running constantly and fully loaded with luggage. I shall not complain one bit. I'm extremely happy with that mileage. rolly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coen de Bruin Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Hi. I drive about 90Km a day round trip to work and back. i try and keep between 100km/h and 120 km/h. Then I average between 10 - 11 L/100Km as per DJ readout. Is that any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
