100%. I was being a smart a$$I believe that was sarcasm. Loud or quiet, the Hurricane will never sound better than a V8.

I really wonder what the G/T exhaust is going to sound like?
lmao, yeah i hate it when they force me to buy ram, i really wanted a ford v8 but noooooBut apparently our Stellantis overlords
I'm not sure how that fuel mileage is possible (80 all* the way). I mean, great for you however...A few weeks ago, the wife and I went to Christmas Mountain near Wisconsin Dells in our 2024 Laramie G/T 5.7 eTorque with 3.92.
My wife brought everything..the whole back seats and bed were completely packed tight..plus I have RamBoxes, MF Tailgate, BUG, and a 50lb RC 1/2" thick bed mat.
Doing 80mph the whole way there and back, we got exactly 20.0mpg!
I will never complain about mpg with Hemi, especially since my G/T isn't optioned as a gas-miser! Plus, the G/T exhaust sounds awesome at speed!
After 3,700 miles I've been averaging 17.9 mpg hand calculated running premium 93 octane highest 20.2 lowest 15.2 mpg.
In contrast my 2023 Laramie 5.7 Hemi, 3.92 gears on 22's averaged 15.6 mpg combined highest 17.5 lowest 14.7 mpg.
The computer can read 1 mpg higher than hand calculated mileage and other times it's right on.
It's a good running engine and pulls stronger than the 5.7l but the hemi was replaced for emissions and not economy.
Wow. I'm surprised you got that mileage with 3.92 Gears. That's great. We are picking up a Rebel soon, so I'm not expecting much better than 20 MPG, which is similar to our 6.7 Cummins at 65-70 MPH with 3.42 Gears. Are you running 87 octane?I did a 475 mile road trip and the computer said 25.5 mpg. Hand Calculated was 24 mpg, still pretty good as I had sever sections of stop and go traffic.

It was prob a lower avg speed, smooth roads, with little wind resistance.Wow. I'm surprised you got that mileage with 3.92 Gears. That's great.

I must be fortunate with my G/T!I'm not sure how that fuel mileage is possible (80 all* the way). I mean, great for you however...
My lightly loaded (maybe 300# of stuff and wifey is 120#) 23' hemi et going 70-75mph average (some less of course with traffic and stops), on mostly flat or gentle hills was at 18-19 using 89 octane on a 2200 mile RT mostly on I20 and I40.
I am a grandpa and drive like one, always dropping out of cruise if approaching a hill so it doesn't downshift etc. I run on aero (2 bars lit up) and have a trifold cover.
Hemi's are strong performers but the hurricane, like my previous Ferd twin turbo, will spank a hemi on the highway.
