Just got back from driving Colorado to Texas and then back again. I hand calculated MPG for all fill ups.
It should be noted I have a Sport S ED with 2" Mopar lift on 37" BFG KO2's with stock 3.73 gears ... also on Winter blend diesel used in CO.
CO -> TX
364 miles, 14.569 gal = 25.0 mpg
191 miles, 8.501 gal = 22.5 mpg
TX -> CO
181 miles, 10.522 gal = 17.2 mpg (during the winter storm driving directly into 25+ mph headwind @75 mph)
306 miles, 16.398 gal = 18.7 mpg
The last fill up was at Raton, NM at which point the winds died down quite a bit. From there to NW Denver with a little heavier traffic and slower average speeds the dash calculated 25.4 mpg.
Overall I am AMAZED at the fuel economy of this engine! To be able to roll on 37's and get mid-20 mpg is simply amazing!
