Expected MPG: 6.4/3.73

d7fe06bdc3df4dffe9d1f681a66bd121.jpg

This is round trip from Bay Area to Reno, about 3/8th of those miles are on steep mountains( Sierra Nevada)
2-6% grade for 180 miles, about 7500miles of elevation gain. Tempature 100-115*

That's great mileage from the 6.4L...Don't recall seeing a seven as the second digit on mine!

I wish.. my EVIC claims that as well... best is actually in the 16's so far.
 
FWIW...

Drove last weekend from Tampa Bay to Miami and back.
75mph both ways, head wind on the way down
87 octane Costco gas

EVIC was 1mpg optimistic on both counts.

13.72 mpg on the way down
15.85 mpg on the way back
 
So, always drive facing north for best MPG
That seems to apply here in WI too. I always get better mileage on I94 heading west (which is really more north than west in this section) than east.

13.9 per the lie o meter; 12.8 mpg hand calc. I did mix in about 20 miles of towing (<50mph). Topped off with 87octane (instead of 91 - Costco) this time to see if there is any difference.

Highway or mix?
 
Updated @ 1800 miles: 13.3mpg, 87 octane, 70/30 mix...not good.
Edit: hand calculated

The mpg you are seeing is well within the real world averages of the 6.4 Hemi in the HD. This shouldn’t come as a surprise.

Even back in 2014 with the 6sp Auto the mpg was similar.
