What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Dodge Journey MPG
| Dodge Journey Fuel Economy: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The gas mileage is great for a 7 passenger SUV. On the highway at 60 mph you can see 25-28 mpg. City wise we see 18-19. |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Very Surprising. 20.6 average and 25.5hwy @ 75mph |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 138hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual FWD |
It can be economical at average speeds. Its still good when being pushed on a journey. |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Averaged about 24-26 MPG in the 10 days that we rented it. |
| Dodge Journey Fuel Economy: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2012 | 4dr SUV 283-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The biggest disappointment for the car is the lower fuel economy. On the highway, it gets right around 30, but in town driving suddenly drops to under 20. That's a big difference, and since it is primarily used around town (less than 15% highway) we're paying a bit more in fuel costs. |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
it does not get anywhere close to what Dodge claims, even when my husband drives it. |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
so far I have been getting about 17 mpg in the city. |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Poor fuel economy |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
22 MPG could be better |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
no better than the Town and Country van, with far less room. |
