I'm pretty close to that with the 5.7 Durango.

Oh I bet! How big is the tank?

 

[azblackhemi]

I can do it in my 3500 Cummins.

35 gallon tank though. The MV has a tank half that size.

 

[azblackhemi]

True but I only need 25 of those gallons to do 500 miles on the highway. I can do almost 700 if I use the whole 36 gallons.

Curious, at what speed and on the flat, level elevation?

I can do 600, 32 gallon tank 75 mph. I think I can do better in the open western plains.

Phoenix to SoCal at 70-75 which is relatively flat except coming out of Indio I get around 21 mpg. Phoenix to Tucson which is very flat I've done as well as 23 mpg's. Hook up a trailer or climb the mountains it will suffer greatly. When I towed our 12500 pound 5th wheel from Phoenix to Boise I averaged 10.5 up and back.

You've got one of the good ones right ( pre def)?

Yup, a 2004 5.9.

24 1/2 US gallon tank (95 litres).

 

[polara71]

24 1/2 US gallon tank (95 litres).

Yeah, I can see it. 8 speed?

 

[300rag]

It's the only choice for them.

 

[polara71]

It's the only choice for them.

Our 2010 RT would do 28 mpgs at 75 mph , 5 speed . I loved it.

How was your mileage in the new one?

 

[polara71]

How was your mileage in the new one?

We cruised that one too. In other words, took it easy. Around 21, that has the 8 speed, but Christ its quick.

Let's see the speedometer or the video of the run.

Here you go......

 

[polara71]

I knew you'd find it easily.

Welcome, nice car.

Here you go......

That was a quick 8 seconds, zero tire spin.

 

[polara71]

Impressive!
