TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Dodge Charger

Dodge Charger Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2012	With the 5.7-liter V8, the Charger gets EPA ratings of 16 mpg city, 25 highway. Last year the new 3.6-liter V6 bumped these to 18/27. The addition of an 8-speed automatic for 2012 (for now the V8 soldiers on with the 5-speed) raises the EPA numbers to 19/31. In typical suburban driving the trip computer reported between 19 and 25 depending on the number of red lights and the heaviness of my right foot. On one light-footed 78-mph highway cruise it reported 31.5. These are outstanding numbers for such a large, heavy sedan. see full Dodge Charger review

2013	4dr Sedan 370-horsepower 5.7L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	I manage to do quite well with fuel economy, about 17 city and 26.5 highway. see full Dodge Charger review
2012	4dr Sedan 292-horsepower 3.6L V6 8-speed automatic RWD	I recently drove from Dublin, Georgia to Port Huron, Michigan. I reset the fuel economy gauge and was VERY HAPPY to find I got 37.0 miles per gallon for the 950 mile trip! Full-size, rear-wheel drive, loaded with a lot of stuff...well, it doesn't get much better than that! see full Dodge Charger review
2006	4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	It weights 3800 lb, and returns 28 mpg on the highway, if you use mid-grade or premium fuel. Consumption goes up in winter (24 mpg). There is nothing wrong with these numbers, and in return you get a big, safe car that gives you decent chance in a crash. see full Dodge Charger review

2007	4dr Sedan 350-horsepower 5.7L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Well it is better than my Jeep Grand Cherokee was, but an additional mile or two a gallon would be nice. With all the pluses though a 24 - 25 highway MPG is tolerable. see full Dodge Charger review

2011	2dr Hatch 332-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	I recommend changing your oil as soon as you get the car with basic 5w30 oil. Then @ 1200 miles use the nissan ester oil. @ 5000 miles switch again to a premium synthetic. Redline, Royal purple & amsoil. Engine will run supersmooth with 23mpg avg. see full Nissan Z review
2011	2dr Hatch 332-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed manual RWD	Reasonable fuel economy considering the 332 hp and 270 ft lbs of torque available. see full Nissan Z review
2007	2dr Hatch 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD	If I shift between 2k to 2.5k, I get about 22mpg city and 27 mpg hwy. If I shift at 4.5k rpm (which I mostly do) I get about 16 mpg city and 20 mpg hwy. see full Nissan Z review
2007	2dr Convertible 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Very Good and exactly as projected with pump fuel 93. Higher octane race fuel affords better mileage ,as with any vehicle proper maintenence ensuring air filters are clean . I change my oil every 3-5 000 miles and I love this car see full Nissan Z review
2007	2dr Hatch 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD	Good gas mileage for a car with over 300 hp. see full Nissan Z review
2003	2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD	A lot better than the previous Jeep I owned. It is average in the car market today though. see full Nissan Z review

2007	2dr Hatch 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	terrible fuel economy for urban owners see full Nissan Z review
2007	2dr Hatch 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD	It was worse than my 303 hp 5.3L V8 Grand Prix, and though it was faster off the line (by about .3 seconds), the Grand Prix GXP was much faster in highway gears. So better MPG and more juice at highway speeds made the GP a better choice for me. see full Nissan Z review
2007	2dr Hatch 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD	If you drive it hard, you get 17mpg. see full Nissan Z review

2004	2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	it is a sports car see full Nissan Z review
2004	2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD	This car's fuel economy shows how much the world has moved forward with regards to fuel management. My commute is pretty much 50/50 city/highway, and I get 19-22 MPG on average depending on weather and A/C usage. My best tanks were in the 26-27 MPG range on those long trips to NY/FL. For reference, a 335i makes more power and probably averages about 22-24 MPG in mixed driving and can get over 30 MPG no problem on the highway. When you drive ~25000 miles a year that definitely adds up. see full Nissan Z review
2004	2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	You have to drive like a grandma to get the estimated gas mileages. more realistically you are looking at 15-19mpg average, totally dependant upon how you drive. see full Nissan Z review
2003	2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	You might not care about fuel economy in a sports car, but as my daily driver I spend about $200/mo in gas. see full Nissan Z review
2003	2dr Hatch 287-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual RWD	it can get low when driven the way its meant to be driven (under 20) but if your just cruising it can get about 27-28 see full Nissan Z review
