| Dodge Caliber Fuel Economy: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD |
I travel on highway with a cruise set at 70 and I get about 30mpg. My current total of 22k miles shows 28.8 mpg. |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 172-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
Im a full time pizza delivery boy. I bought this car brand new to deliver pizzas in. What does that tell you? |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD |
25+ in all city driving. |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
Average so far is 28 mpg. This car has the 2.0 with the CVT transmission. Not great but not terrible either. Our minivan got 18 mpg This mileage is almost all highway.60 to 70 mph. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD |
This car was bought as a commuter car and was excellent for that purpose...good gas mileage. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 172-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD |
On a mix city/open road, obtaining ± 8.5l/100 km for an AWD vehicule is a good for me |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
I can go below 7L/100km when driving long routes (or about 9L/100km driving in residential areas). Not bad for a car this size and power. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 172-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD |
My AWD model gets the worst fuel economy of all the caliber models, but is still great for an AWD car! Typically 26mpg in the city, 30mpg on highway trips. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
averaging 34 mpg which is pretty good for a vehicle in htis category |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
It returns about 36 IMP mpg which I find acceptable |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD |
I drive 30+ miles 5x per week. My caliber gets about 32 miles per gallon. My previous Dodge NEON could not get this kind of gas mileage |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD |
I have been getting between 23-25 city and 30-34 highway even at 70 mph.This is during the warmer weather. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD |
Good mileage considering the utility of this vehicle. Would love a diesel. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD |
Could be better, but still not bad...averaging 25-28 on highway and slightly less in town. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 172-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD |
23 mpg around town and 26 mpg highway with AWD is pretty good. |

| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD |
Not as good as I would expect. The Avenger which I own now get better fuel economy on the highway and is a roomier car. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD |
This STINKS... I believe the reported fuel economy on my car was something like 25/30. I have never gotten above 23mpg in this car, and usually it is much lower. Had I known ahead of time, I probably would not have purchased this vehicle. |
