With my current setup and 3.21 gears my fuel economy rarely dips below 19-20 mpg. Stock I would get 24 mpg (based on the computer). 70%-ish of my driving is on the highway, I stick to the speed limit (60mph) and upshift at 2000rpm.

i am not calling you a liar. I just find your claim beyond the realm of possibility. Not sure what you are getting so heated about. Sorry you got your panties in a twist sensitive sally.
... And if your claim was even close to accurate don't you think chrysler would be shouting it from the mountain tops
... And please tell me what you think the capacity of your fuel tank is

Fuel tank capacity has been mentioned a couple of times, indicating someone believes it is important to calculating MPG.
Fuel tank capacity doesn't even enter into the equation.

The published fuel economy ratings are based on very specific tests to replicate two types of driving, City and Highway. Neither are necessarily an indication of best or worst mileage possible.
I agree with the above posters that fuel tank capacity has no bearing on your mpg calculation. You just read off the pump how much gas it took to fill you tank.

Have you ever driven for an extended period at 45-50 mph? Go try it. You will be surprised.
