Not to start any fight here.
Chrysler engines seem to be " drink gas" This come from what I see daily.
I know 1 guy who had 390K miles on 1998 Dodge 1500 ext/4wd with 318 v8. It retired in 2005 at 360K. Used for Detroit/Bay City/ Alger daily driving. He was telling me how he average 15-17 mpg on strict highway.
You could try add vacuum gauge to show how heavy you on gas so you could try improve.
Or get scangauge from here store. It useful for me when I had F350 with OBD2 it was interested to see how much fuel it use to drive.
My old 94 Explorer 4 door 4wd with V6 average 18 in city and 20-23 mpg highway. I think it weight 4500 pound. Speed I only go 60 due gear in rear axle was 3.73.
