oh, yours is really new... I think they start doing better after 750 or 1000 miles of breaking-in, at least that is what the dealer said

You're not supposed to break it in revving it out to redline, are you? It's just so much fun!

My '03 isn't stock by far. However, I drove to PA (from NC) 1 1/2 weeks ago for the Mopar show. I had 3 adults in the cab, a Cuda hood and front/rear bumper assemblies in the bed, and luggage for us for 4 days and 3 nights. With 4.56 gears I got 20 mpg. Driving back and forth to work, 8 miles one way, I'm in the 14.x range.

I drive a mix of interstate and city(50/50 or so) and Ive put 26,xxx miles in a year on my '06 4 door 2wd and by the overhead it says 14mpg average if I dont reset it but by the math its 13mpg. I check it every other tank fill up.

in order for MDS to work properly and get the proposed gas mileage, you MUST run 5w-20(outcome of other oils is poor gasmilege for about 500 miles, followed by a blown motor) and be under 70mph.
my 03 with intake and tuner got 11-13 city, 15-7 highway, cruising at 80-85mph.
