Angry miles per gallon?

Not new to the forum, but new to posting. What I would like to know is if anybody has taken a trip in their Charger of at least 1000 miles and what was your gas mileage. I'm planning a trip from Largo, Fl to the Finger Lakes area in upstate N.Y. in July. The way the gas prices keep rising I might have to mortgage my first born for the trip. And yes, I have the Charger R/T.
Thank you

Set cruise around 55-60 mph and should be able to get close to 28 mpg.

Torque is the low-end muscle that gets you out of the blocks when the light turns green. It's the thrust that squashes you into the seat when you hammer the gas. Torque is good. Torque is your friend.

Highest I ever hit was 19 MPG

That was driving with the AC off at 65 mph for an hour

I dunno how people are claiming 25-26, my average is 16.7 MPG right now
