RE: MPG - 5/3/2007 2:38:38 PM    Nicky B   Posts: 616 Joined: 4/2/2006 Status: offline My best mpg around town is 16.4 that I averaged for about a few days but then it went to a few minutes of 3500RPM shifts in autostick mode . But on the highway the cruise set at 75mph and my girlfriend in the passenger seat along with the window's I got up to 23.6mpg which is great for a car that can go 160mph (in reply to MangoInTX) Post #: 3

RE: MPG - 5/3/2007 11:53:57 PM    morfoot   Posts: 62 Joined: 1/7/2007 Status: offline I average about 19+ MPG on mine.  I drive it at normal speeds, in town and on the highway I set the cruise at 75.  I just recently got 22 MPG, but I was driving it like a grandma...sucked but with gas prices on the rise I may have to continue to drive this way.  I hope not.  I am impressed at the MPG this vehicle gets with this engine in it.  The MDS really must work? < Message edited by morfoot -- 5/3/2007 11:56:26 PM > _____________________________ 2006 Charger R/T Midnight Blue, K&N Air Intake, Borla #140125, Daytona Grill, spoiler, 20% tint 2008 Ram Quad 1500 4X4 HEMI Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl, Line-X bedliner, stock for now (in reply to MangoInTX) Post #: 5

RE: MPG - 5/16/2007 8:48:45 PM    byebyeblue   Posts: 95 Joined: 3/29/2007 Status: offline 13 mpg?  There must be something wrong with your ride. I stand on mine a lot and use Auto stick all the time (thus eliminating the MDS) and I do a good mix of city and Hwy and I am always between 17 and 19 mpg .  If your only getting 13 or less you either have a problem or need new tires every week. _____________________________ I am still smilin' (in reply to srteatr) Post #: 10

RE: MPG - 5/17/2007 12:16:41 AM    srteatr   Posts: 109 Joined: 12/17/2006 Status: offline I do not know if you guys are going by what your computer tells you or doing the math... The last fill up I did was 13.763 gallons and I drove 194.7 miles.  The math says I got 14.14 miles per gallon.  I have had higher and lower but really I get about 13-14.  And yes I do need new tires after 11,000 miles!  But the best I never seen when I drove it 75 miles stright was 22.71 and that was just cruising at 65 mph.  I didnt by mine thinking about gas mileage!!  I will take bad mileage over any eco friendly hybrid crap!!  I do spend a lot per month on fuel but I smile every time I fill it up with premium .  I have owned many cars and this is by far the funnist and best looking one I ever had.  My others are my old 19 foot 1973 Chrysler New Yorker with the 440 monster in it and my 1985 Shelby Charger!  That lil toy was fast as hell!  And when I raced that lil 2.2 turbo for all it was worth it got between 12 and 15 miles per gallon!!  Now when I first got my Charger I drove it like a baby for one tank and I got 15, I live in Seattle and there are so many hills and I figure the difference between 15 and 13?  I want to have fune, who cares about an extra 30 miles per fill up... thats 5-7 dollers savings !!!!! I prefer fun over 5 dollers per week! (in reply to byebyeblue) Post #: 11

RE: MPG - 10/11/2007 8:07:32 AM    riannapo Posts: 9 Joined: 6/25/2007 Status: offline I agree...the worst I've done is 15...but I avg between 17-20. My typical tank is 70% hwy (@75-80mph), and 30$ city driving. If you can drive on the hwy at 60mph, you can get close to 23-25, but who can drive this car that way? _____________________________ 2007 Stone White R/T, AFE Stage 2 CAI, 180 deg Tstat, Tint, Brylcreemed, HEMI 5.7 hood decal, Charger R/T Rocker and Hemi R/T Quarter panel stripes, plus blinker, cigarette lighter, & seat belt mods. 0-60 in 4.42 (in reply to srteatr) Post #: 13

Oh, some kid thought her could beat me in his new MazdaSLOW3.  Deafeated him...  He wouldnt try to pass me for 30 miles and I had to drive 10 below every one else...  But dont get me wrong that lil toy was a bit fast.
