I just noticed that on https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/findacar.htm that the Durango I used to own with a 5.2 V-8 is not listed as a choice even though around 80% of Durango's in that year were 5.2 V-8's.:confused:

We had a recent warm spell with temps around low 70s so I'm idling around 0.6 GPH When it was cold (40s) I could get into 5th around 30 MPH going more or less at idle throttle, now that it has warmed up abit it can do 35 MPH but its happier at 40 MPH |

Looking as your gaslog, I noticed that you got a high MPG fill when you set the cruise to 70mph. What are some general MPG numbers you see at different speeds (just to give me an idea)? I usually require 1.0 GPH to stay at 50mph (50mpg), whereas I only need 0.4 GPH to stay at 30mph in 5th gear (75mpg). 70 mph requires over 2.0 GPH in my car in this weather; pretty close to the accelerator being floored. |

For that trip most of the drive was through the foothills and up the mountains heading towards Tahoe. My guess is that I'm closer to the optimum operating range of the 4.0 doing 70 compared to 65. Using cold weather specs (40s-50s) 25-40 MPH; 28-30 MPG 65 MPH; 19-22 MPG w/ Cruise 65 MPH; 20-24 MPG w/out Cruise 70 MPH; 18-21 MPG w/ Cruise 85 MPH; 18 MPG w/out Cruise <- Passing a trailer in 5th, it was erriely stable... Driving like a bat outta hell usually pulls around 10-12 MPG consuming a happy 4.0+ GPH In town with speeds varying from 0-40 MPH with fuel consumption 1.0-2.0 GPH @ cruising speed. Highway driving is usually around 2.7-3.3 GPH covering flat and low rolling hills. Engine load rarely goes above 15-25 while cruising. In city cruising throttle is usually around 17 (idle is 15) Highway, using my foot 26, using cruise 25-30 |
