My first message on the Forum page. Purchased my Nitro in April 2007. I always wanted a white vehicle so guess what I bought? I like the sleek look of the vehicle. Reminds me of the 40's station wagon. Couple questions for the group. I have about 8000 miles on the vehicle and my gas mileage is only 18.4 MPG. Is anyone getting better mileage or is this what I have to look forward to? Does anyone know of any "Recalls" on the Nitro yet?

Congratulations on your purchase. Enjoy the ride!

Which model do you have? I have an R/T and have been pleasantly surprised by the fuel economy--considering the size and weight of the vehicle. Driving habits contribute greatly to fuel economy. I travel to Chico a few times monthly--a 60-mile journey. With air conditioning going, a passenger, and the cruise control set at 65 MPH, I average a bit over 22 MPG. On my trip to Chico last Sunday, the traffic was dense and did not invite using the cruise control. I made several accelerated passes to get around big rigs and RVs. My mileage was just over 18 MPG. Driving habits greatly affect fuel economy.
