Took a road trip today. About 150 miles was at 69 mph, 135 miles at 59 mph and 15 miles at 35 mph. I thought it was a good ride today. I didn't baby it, But I didn't goose it much either. Thought it was pretty good mpg. We have now 3900+ miles on her. :Racing:

You have to love that!!! On my 02 Envoy the best I ever got was 20 and that was all freeway. My Explorers... 17-18 and none of them were were anywhere close to being as fun to drive as the Nitro (although the Envoy does have a screamin' fast engine for a 6). Looks, capacity, handling and respectable mileage. Nitro is making a statement!

I like those numbers. I'm impressed. My general thoughts of most Chryslers is their not so good in the MPG department. Also, its never been documented, but supposedly the Powertrain Control Module (Engine Computer) switches to a leaner burn after about 18 000kms (approx 11 000 miles) so the MPG may get better.

Powertrain Control Mod. switches to a leaner burn!! what in the world are you talking about? My Nitro could switch to Warp Drive and still not get 23 mpg. Why not switch at 100 miles? Where do you hear this stuff?

It comes up in discussion if you attend a Chrysler technical training program.

OK, then suggest that the lean burn would be aappreciated a little sooner than 11,000 miles.

I feel really gipped now!!! 15.5/18.6 in the flat-lands of Maryland. There has got to be something wrong with my engine to get such poor mileage at 3300 miles.

 

[ChiNitro]

You guy are lucky. I vearly get 13.9 in the city. Top Hwy 16.5...

 

[DAYLEY/CHALLENGER]

Just a rather odd question...Have you guys got your EVIC set for mpg OR kpg. Make sure you have the US settings....OR I may be totaly off base anyway!!!

On 1/8/07 I had my first oil change and the TSB performed for the surging problem that a lot of you guys complained about. I topped off the gas tank Saturday the 13th, took a trip to Ocean City and back plus an addition 20 miles (in-town driving), the total was 97.3 miles. I filled "guzzle" back up with 4.409 gallons and did the math -- 22.07 MPG!!! Yippee!!! Now I need to conduct a straight city only test this week and post the comparison. I'll do this sometime this week. I love my Nitro even more now!!!

according to the onboard computer, it saids 12.0 mpg on mine. I drive mainly in the city. I work at night,. so traffic is minimal.

I have 1200 miles on it

 

[medicguy]
