How many miles can you drive a Dodge Journey for?
A Dodge Journey typically travels about 350–450 miles on a full tank, depending on the engine and drivetrain.
Produced from 2008 to 2019, the Journey offered two main engine options and varying drivetrains, all affecting fuel economy and range. Real-world distance per tank depends on driving conditions, maintenance, and fuel quality. These figures are estimates based on EPA ratings and typical tank sizes.
Engine options and fuel economy
Different powertrains yield different miles-per-tank. The following estimates reflect common configurations and a roughly 18.5-gallon fuel tank.
- 2.4L inline-4 engine with front-wheel drive (FWD): about 22 mpg combined; estimated range around 400 miles per tank (roughly 18.5 gal × 22 mpg).
- 3.6L V6 engine with front-wheel drive (FWD): about 20 mpg combined; estimated range around 370 miles per tank.
- 3.6L V6 engine with all-wheel drive (AWD): about 19 mpg combined; estimated range around 350 miles per tank.
In practice, highway driving typically yields higher mpg and a longer range per tank than city driving, and individual results vary by model year and condition.
Fuel tank capacity and range calculations
For reference, most Dodge Journeys share an approximate fuel-tank capacity of about 18.5 gallons. You can estimate range with the simple formula: range = mpg × 18.5 gallons. The numbers below use typical EPA combined mpg figures for each configuration.
- 2.4L I4 with FWD: 22 mpg combined × 18.5 gal ≈ 407 miles per tank.
- 3.6L V6 with FWD: 20 mpg combined × 18.5 gal ≈ 370 miles per tank.
- 3.6L V6 with AWD: 19 mpg combined × 18.5 gal ≈ 351 miles per tank.
Actual range will vary with driving style, terrain, cargo, and maintenance. To get a more precise figure for your specific Journey, track real-world fuel economy over a few tanks and multiply the average mpg by your tank capacity.
Summary
The Dodge Journey’s per-tank distance generally falls in the 350–450-mile range, with the longest figures coming from the 2.4L I4 engine in FWD configurations and shorter ranges from the AWD-equipped 3.6L V6. Production of the Journey ended in 2019, so current availability is limited to used models; when shopping, check engine condition, maintenance history, and drivetrain wear to gauge real-world range.
