15 to 17 mpg,? Not bad for 31 in tires.I've tried everthing from cold air,tornado air,jet chips,to performance exhaust & all I can tell you is to try smaller tires or possibly go to 3.55 gears but I'me afraid 3.55 gears would hurt more than help with the 31s'.Wish I could help more

Still waiting for my 2003 CC R/T to arrive.

Hope the gas milage sucks cause the more fuel she burns the quicker she will go!

The milage issues should be no surprize to anyone you knew they were lousy in fuel before you bought it.

"""""" have a 70 Dodge Challenger 440 sixpak (with 3.92 gears) that gets better mileage than my 97 4x4 Dakota CC 5.2 5 spd. I am still scratching my head over that one!!!"""""""""

two words
POLUTION CONTROL

with all the pollution regulations and crap manufactures have to meet on engines these days the gas mileage sucks
if we were to have NO pollution controls we would be seeing MUCH better mileage
