sounds about right

 

Yes, of course I do, there is no reason not to, does hurt the car and its very fast to downshift if needed.

 

MPG *was* a factor in my purchase, not a big one, though with a 98% highway commute. I noticed she sips fuel like a refined duchess drinking tea until you drop the hammer - she then sucks gas like a drunken soccer thug goes through Guinness.

 

Perfect analogy lol.

 

My 500 never sips.

 

I think you meant "doesn't" hurt the car. The car seems a little. . .woozy at RPMs that low, but I've never noticed any chugging so you're probably right.

 

As it should be. You gotta love these cars. The only time the Wifey's gets driven reasonably hard is when I drive. With the 4.6L auto, it averages around 20 combined. Has been as high as 29 mpg highway crusing on a perfect day w/perfect road conditions. If the '13 gets anywhere close I'll be as happy as a mule eatin' briars. If it don't, I'll still be as happy as...........well you know.

 

Absolutely, my mistake. And ya, it doesnt bog, but as you said its not the fastest thing at low RPM.

 

Actually I routinely exceed EPA estimates in my V6. I do 95% of my driving in the city and over the past 3,000 miles I've averaged 21.9 MPG according to the car computer.

 

I'm getting well over EPA city also with my 5.0

 

But I get 19.678mpg!

 

Have you even gone through a tank yet? lol Enjoying it?

 

 

Well right now my AVG mpg is showing 19... And I most definitely enjoy it. I also do 90% freeway driving when i'm going to work.

Sorry, had to.

 

I average 18 so, you're not having enough fun.

 

Ok, so it says 18.7 but it did say 19 a week ago. It's been consistently dropping. You get 18 in your 5.4? That's pretty darn good.

 

Yes, 18 is the best I can do

 

I dont think you are either, im getting 14 :joke:

 

Maybe it's you that's not having enough fun.

 

Agreed, dam you SoCal traffic. LOL are you in Ca?
