Curious as to the highest mileage run you've ever gotten in your Dodge CTD -- figured out at the pump. I'd imagine that people in the Rockies or the Appalachians (or the Alps, maybe?) are going to have the advantages here -- long, uninterrupted downhill slopes.

Mine was 42.7 mpg, from the top to the bottom of the Kiabab Plateau in northern Arizona, filling up at the top, and then stopping 48 miles and a mile lower and for the helluvit filling up again at the bottom. Not bad a-t'all. I've also done 40.1 mpg on a stretch of Interstate between West Virginia and Virginia.

Highest I've ever gotten on flatland was between Cheyenne, Wyoming, and Ogalalla, Nebraska on I-80, empty, and running at 60 mph. That was 22.3. But that stretch of road trends downhill, too.

Anyway, just something I wondered about.

btw, I've got 3.54 gears, an Edge Pulse in EZ config, 275 injectors, a big turbo, big exhaust, forced cold air, etc., so I guess those are all advantages.

 

23.4mpg on level flat ground running 60 mph. Although just for fun I tested it on the way to the lake and managed 28 mpg but that was a short 30 mile level trip with no stops inbetween.

 

Were lucky to get 16mpg, tops was 18mpg going about 40-50mph in traffic, plus at night the truck gets 1-2mpg better then during the morning or afternoon.

 

18.6 mpg in town driving. I should get better mileage on hwy if I ever get to do any. I can't wait to see what the mileage will be pulling my 30' 5th wheel. The best I ever got pulling it with my gasser was 6 mpg.

If I travel the speed limit, I can get 21mpg. Driving like I want gets me 18.5-19.5.

From Hector, MN. to New London WI. and back, total of 700 mi. at 70 mph most of the time, the old girl averaged 24.6 mpg. figured at the pump..made it on one tank of fuel easy.

 

23mpg, with the cruise set around 65-67mph, mid july, from Laramie, Wy to Fort Collins, Co; it's predominanlty down hill all the way. I typically see 18mpg on the highway and roughly 14mpg city driving. Best towing mpg was 16mpg(very light load), December, 65-75mph, from Dillon, Co to Grand Junction, Co, down hill the entire way.

 

Best ever was 21 from St Paul back to Ky. Average day to day is 16. Towing, I don't figure cuz I never know what I'll be hooked to. It do drop some though

I'm currently getting 20.34 MPG according to my logs...

I think my best is about 25 MPG if a baby the skinny pedal...

 

22.4 mpg

on the way back from port aransas tx...

Tx

 

25mpg coming home from oklahoma. That was before the injectors and lift. This past trip I got 20mpg with no comp or injectors but with the lift. I can't wait to do it this year with the injectors and comp.

 

At 75-80 I avg 17.5-18 mpg, at 65 I avg 20 mpg. There are some pretty good hills out here in the mountains too.

 

I consistantly get 22-24 mpgs with my 2500, best ever was 27 on a tank that went 900 miles.
My 3500 gets about 12 towing a 26k flatbed.
