Dodge Journey, 3.6 awd, who has one?

I'm looking at trading my 2015 200s on a 2017 Journey GT. I'm almost 57 and finding it harder to get into and out of the 200. The GT replaces the R/T for 2017. The journey in question is awd/3.6 and fairly well optioned. My biggest stumbling point is the MPG rating. 16-24, ouch. We have gotten just over 38 with the 3.6 in the 200 on trips and mid 20s around town. I know it's not an apple to apple comparison but it's still something to hang me up. What kind of real life mpgs are you guys seeing on your 3.6 awd Journeys?

I have a '16 Crossroad 3.6 AWD. On the highway in the summer I'll get around 28 mpg (US gallon) IF I drive 60 mph. Start pushing it and it drops. It is a big vehicle. We really like ours
