dajourneybegins Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 i have a 2012 2.4L 4 cylinder. just bought it last week. I was expecting better mileage, it isn't much different than my ram. I just reset the avg and on a 25 min drive mostly highway the avg was roughly 12. Is this normal?

Steven Harshbarger Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Can't say that's the norm but these seem to be a little thirsty in town but highway mileage should be better. I recently got a v6 crossroads and and I'm seeing 16-18 in town and I recently took a trip and got a solid 26mpg one way and 25 on the way back. I did 500 miles on a single tank so I was pretty pleased with that. I'd just make sure the motor is maintained properly so it returns the best possible mpg.

mfeel Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 My AWD is a fuel thirsty. Need around 60-65$ CAD every week. around 10 mpg in winter 12mpg in summer. got my car in april 2016. 6 hours highways can give me up to 29 mpg, which is good.

JhamB Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 I have the 4 cyl and I have been averaging 24.3 mpg (calculated and computer agree) my daily commute is roughly 25 miles one way. Do you do a lot of stop and go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRfR Posted July 27, 2022 Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 AVGing 10.6 mpg in the suburbs back and worth to work about an 1 drive on non-hwy streets. AWD 3.6 with rebuilt trans and rear diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John/Horace Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) I have a Ram, they are 6 or 8 speed auto tranny and cylinder deactivation on the hemi. Journey is a 4 speed moving maybe 3-4 hundred pounds less weight. Sits high up like most suv pushing wind as well. You said 10, I assume 10 litres per 100 kilometres. So 2.645 US gallons per 62.14 miles or 23.49 MPG per US gallon. Sounds close to normal on crappy regular grade Canadian summer gas with 87 octane and probably still some ethanol content. The 2.4 often have cheap copper core spark plugs from factory, check them and use double platinum NGK plugs instead.

SRfR Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 I'm in the US, 10.6 miles per gallon, the journey holds 21 gallons of fuel and the 3.6L in the DJ are a 6 speed auto stick (manual shifting). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2.4 does not like anything else. Edited July 28, 2022 by jkeaton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John/Horace Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) My daughter in law's 2.4 has cheap iredium plugs, Denso I believe, for last 3 years, approx 60k kilometres. Haven't noticed any issues. What is supposed to happen??? All the coils are even still original at 125k kms.

AWD 3.6 with rebuilt trans and rear diff. YUP, I'd believe those figures if NON highway (55mph) driving. constant up down speeds and braking, idling at stop signs/lights will show horrible mileage. Not many vehicles can deliver higher mileage unless you have one with a tiny motor and only FWD econobox, NOT a heavy vehicle like a DJ. I'm out in country road driving and very little "stop and go" type driving and we average 22mpg even with the a/c going. on BOTH our '11 and '14 3.6 AWD's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
