13-16 in the city 19 -24 on the highway that is driving spirited I can do 19 in the city if I acclerate and never go over 3000 rpms and let the MDS stay engaged
I used to get much worse mileage at 2700 miles now I am starting to see an improvement
I've had my charger for less than a week now and the instrument cluster shows an average of 14. I just thought that seemed pretty low. I am loving the car though. Soo happy with it.
Charger Madness84: Yes, it sounds like your MDS could be off and needs to be reset if it is reading 14 in the city. This is what the car gets if the MDS has triggered off. Consult manual or dealer (or search this forum) for reset procedure.
I tried doing a search for the threads I remember seeing but I couldn't find. It is quite possible your MDS is functioning fine as many here have reported 12-16 with the MDS not being in need of resetting, however, it is true that you will get 14 city and 19 highway if the MDS has turned off. Thank Chrysler for not including an MDS operation light on the dash.
What are you getting on the highway. If it is near 19 then it could be off. If it is near 23-26 then it is fine.
Your car may need breaking in if the MDS is working.
I know most don't do this but I always keep a new engine mellow with no throttles past 1/2 way down for the first 700 miles.
