Hello,

I have 2014 GC Overland 4x2 w/ 5.7L
Purchased on March, 2014.
I currently have about 9600 miles (I don't drive a lot).

I want to share info what other people get their MPG...
I'm getting 9.8 to 10.6 average..I don't think this is normal....or is it?

Most people are getting more like 15-20 but I say a lot depends on your driving habits.
If you short trip a lot that hurts mpg. I've only seen it on diesels but I think it can happen on gassers too. If you drive a couple miles at a time your engine is much less efficient while its warming up.

Hmmm. 19 MPG with about 80% interstate for my 2013, 2WD, 5.7L. Guessing it's your driving habits and a lot of city driving.

Lets do something, go fill your tank. zero out your odometer A.

Go take a nice long 250 mile ride highway, do 65-70 mph with cruise. fill up the tank,calc your mileage, compare to trip A.

Bet you will be over 20 mpg easily.

There are a bunch of threads that already detail MPG for multiple model years and all three engines. ;)

And no, the fuel economy you're experiencing is not normal in the least. I get ~16 running around and 20-22 highway with my Hemi.

I average about 14-16 mpg city - 20-22 hwy.
