I heard the percentage increase the Hemi is suppose to get (Although forget what it was).  Everything else being equal, which it may not be, the percentage calculated to 1 more MPG over the GEN III.  Of course the other factors I do not know that will affect MPGs is wind resistance and weight.

The 2010 will offer a hybrid MDS Hemi, which debutes in the 2009 Durango.
