SPG vs MPG - 3/3/2006 8:42:55 AM    IXLR8   Posts: 376 Joined: 12/27/2005 From: Katy, TX Status: offline My Charger Daytona R/T gets about 100 SPG (Smiles Per Gallon) when getting 19 MPG. But when I get 16 MPG then I get more like 200~250 SPG... But worth it. The ratio seems to be inversely proportional. _____________________________ I feel a need... a need for SPEED !!

I would like a little higher. Daytona R/T had posted he put a Series 63 K&N Cold Air Filter?? and Throttle Body on his and he is getting 18-19 mpg driving in autostick mode, w/ a moderate foot. Not bad, anybody else put these mods on and see this kind of performance? He said it gave him about 4 mpg more. (in reply to IXLR8) Post #: 4

It actually indicated through the on-board computer a couple times that it was getting 31+ mpg on my way home, just before getting off the freeway, and ending up indicating 26-27 by the time I got home. I have the MP CAI, Magnaflow full cat back exhaust and currently have the JET Stage 2 chip in mine. I've ordered the Flashpaq super tuner and am anxious to get that.

Im going to use the cruise when on freeway, but like baldylox, I travel short distances in town and dont get on the highway as much. Much more city/town driving and stop and go.

But if the traffic gets really slow and congested, which it usually does, then I will go to the slap stick mode, and usually don't make it out of third gear, if that. dave (in reply to kinsco276) Post #: 7

RE: R/T Owners - 4/6/2006 1:13:30 PM    srenken   Posts: 131 Joined: 12/26/2005 Status: offline I have the daytona R/T, it is my wifes car, but she refuses to drive it since she lowered the Garage door on it. We bought it in August, and it has 2800 miles. So 7 months later, the onboard trip computer shows it getting 17.8 MPG (average), and I am by no means easy on the acceleration when we do take it out. I drive it more now that it has finally been rained on. I think we will trade it in on the 2 door challenger. (in reply to ThinkinDaytona) Post #: 11
