Have added an AFE intake and magnaflow exhaust and am now getting 24-25mpg in Calgary for daily driving, so pretty happy with this. Thinking I should be getting about or close to 30mpg with highway driving, crosses fingers. Did notice that my roof rack did reduce the mpg by about 1-2mpg as well so a bit of give and take.

I have around 4000 km on my TH with tow and am averaging around 10.2 per 100.
I am going from Alberta to south Sask. early next month and will see what it gets on the trip.

I have been averaging around 26-26.5 for my Limited V6 with Tow until I removed my rack for a trip and was hitting around 28 on average for awhile. It is amazing what a rack will do to the aerodynamics of the vehicle...Rack is back on and I'm back at 26.5. Still fantastic mileage in my book for what is one of the most comfortable and capable vehicles I have owned....

On a long trip down the Washington coast earlier this month we actually did over 28 m,pg, calculated, on one tank. Then we visited Mount Saint Helens, Mount Rainier and crossed the coast range on our return and averaged a little over 24 mpg US. Not bad considering all the up and downs we had and the serious twisties; slow down, speed up, and do it again and again and again on some sections.

Lifetime Average with ADII V6 Limited with tow package = 10.1L per 100kms
Lifetime average is about 75% city 25% highway.

Best highway economy = 8.2L per 100kms

Towing 1000lb trailer 9.6l per 100kms

Returned from a 4,500 miles trip to Montana via Colorado, Utah, Idaho Wyoming, Kansas Oklahoma and my total average consumption was 20.6 MPG, total average speed was 68.7 miles. Before leaving mounted mopar steel rims and also added a soft bag on roof with about 120 lbs. weight. Mine is a 2014 TH with V6 trailer package. Question to what extends are heavier steel rims influencing mileage? No doubt roof rack (soft) is taking its toe on mileage.
Car otherwise perform flawlessly. Very quiet, extremely comfortable. Numbers are according to Computer. Irritation: small tank

I get about 26 highway and 22-24 city with no load. While earlier this year in May did a move from central Texas to Washington State pulling a 2100 lb trailer. Truck was brand-new with about a 1000 miles on it at that point and averaged about 17-20 mpg threw out the whole trip.

Anyone know how accurate the car computer is for MPG vs hand calculated ?

I just got back from a round trip to NM for a total of 1613.8 miles and got a 19 mpg average for the trip. That includes pulling some impressive grades and always at the speed limit or 5 over.
The nine speed was very responsive and kept its cool in the hot desert heat and over the grades. Got to love this vehicle !!

All of my fuel-ups are calculated by odometer and gallons and stored on fuelly. The numbers on the EVIC are sometimes close, other times not so much.
I've seen it as close as 0.5mpg high to as much as 2mpg high. If you averaged them all out i would say about 1-1.5mpgs consistently high.

2014 V6 TH with tow group ;

8L/100km highway (cruise control @ 100km/h)
9.5L/100km highway (cruise control @ 120km/h)
11.5L/100km city

Towing a 4000lbs trailer ; 20L/100km

I am running 91 octane, before that, on 87 octane, I was doing 13L/100 city

I have 17 500km

Very interesting .How did the car feel towing 4000lbs ? I have a boat thats weighs 2200lbs dry So with trailer /fuel and fishing gear etc will be coming up close to that , Interesting that you got more MPG with 91 as well , I don't have my TH yet , But Im sure I read Jeep recommended 87.

With 4000lbs, the jeep is doing a very good job but you can really feel it ; electric brake are at boost 3 level 4

I did a 1200km trip with the 4000lbs trailer, no issue at all. I did keep an eye on the trans temp at first but with the TH towing package, nothing to worry at all

I've been getting fairly decent mileage (see sig) with my trailhawk v6 with tow...I think for me the cold mornings and high traffic commute takes a big toll, but I can easily pull 18+ mpg with only commute driving.

I've noticed the dash MPG gauge is sometimes spot-on, sometimes it can be nearly 2mpg too high. Never too low.

Overall I'm satisfied...I'll have to see how it does on the highway on a long trip. I figured out that my MPG tanks with cruise control on oddly enough...if only you could select a speed range to stay within favoring mpg....

I just had the worst gas mileage on my last 300km trip, 23 mpg or 12.1L/100km. The evic and the manually calculated were within 1 mpg, it was -36C when I left in the morning. The trip was all highway with cruise set at 98km/h (most of the way) and the highway was bare. On the return home trip 340km (extra 40km was city driving), my Jeep had 2 more passengers and their baggage, I got near 26mpg or 10.7L/100km, it had warmed up to about -20C and was snowing so no cruise control, I did go up to 110km/h, it sucks because that highway is posted at 80km/h, trying to get home before dark. I make that trip many times per year, kids in University, in the summer the best mileage the Jeep had was 34mpg and 37mpg, on the 37mpg my wife was driving and she was following me while I was driving my Ram, they was no wind in both trips. I usually get around 26 and 28mpg mixed city and highway in the summer, I wish I would get better but that's reality.
