Gee, what; do you drive downhill everywhere you go? Or maybe a little paralysis of the right wrist?
It sure sounds really good to me, and I can also infer that you are a responsible ryder. Thanks!

Thats great....

Really good milage for an RT...:2thumbs:...

I am shocked that your average mpg was 32 and your high was 40mpg! I am guessing you adhere to the speed limits. I had a 2012 RT SM5 and the best I ever got was 31mpg. Of course I rode her hard and put her up wet. I do the same with my 2015 RTS SM6 and I usually get around 37mpg. I check my mpg but only to make sure it hasn't gone way down from the usual 37. I figure if it really varies, I might be having a problem.

Well those are good numbers, I am in Ohio. I am however shocked at what your average price of fuel is, where are you buying it? :yikes:

Except for the high of 40 mpg your mileage mimics mine. You price per gallon sucks though. I have never paid more then 2.80/gal here in the Intermountain West.
BTW I like your tracking program. Did you write it or what app is it?

I always use 93 octane. Remember, the first 2 1/2 years of ownership (bought in April 2012) gas was hovering at $4 or more. Then it gradually began coming down. I included the last 10 fill ups and you can see the latest gas prices there. Last time it was $2.71. In the Columbus Ohio area premium gas is running $.40 more than regular.

LOL. What short memories we have! My last fill up was $2.71/gallon for premium. Back in 2012 it was always around four dollars or more. Central Ohio area here.

Not sure about other model years, but individual fill ups are not as important as keeping a running record over the lifetime of your vehicle that really tells you what mileage you're getting. On empty, the gas pump sometimes shuts off with only 3.75 gallons added to the tank and other times it might be closer to 5. I'm not sure if it's poor tank design, heat, or what. Maybe the newer models don't have that problem?

This shows you the prices of gas in the middle of 2013. At or around $4/gallon

Speaking of gas. I'm running Chevron non ethanol gas in my 2014 RTS. Good or bad idea?

It depends on the octane rating of the fuel... :dontknow:

Driven total of 12,162 miles. Ave mpg 34.19. Ave fuel cost $3.00 gal. Total 360.995 gallons Ave cost of .088 cent per mile. This is a 14 RT base and mostly at speed of about 75 mph and a lot of times with a pretty good wind. Highest milage ever was 47.18 and lowest was 28.46. Most of the time I am right around 32-33 mpg.

How do you track your mileage?

I put that in because people would freak and argue numbers, etc. Some would tell stories of some fantastically time they got HUGE mileage. Then when you asked them, they were doing it in their head. LOL. You can't do it right if you don't track it!

Then others would say, "I bought my Spyder to ride it - not keep records all the time and waste my energy doing it". LOL It takes seconds to update your log on www.fuelly.com

They would have you believe that it takes hours to compile this information I guess? NOPE! You write down your odometer reading when you fill-up on the gas pump receipt and you enter the information in your log online. Literally takes seconds.

To reduce the discussion, I added the words "For entertainment only".
