Poor gas mileage

[HSKR R/T]

Exactly. So we may never know if 89 gets better than 87. Too many variables.

Heck, one time I lost like 5 mpg just from the McDonald’s drive thru.

And about 5 years off your life for eating that crap.

Well, Somethings gotta kill me

Yes. Just taking a guess. I don’t really do any actual stop/go big city driving like many do. Mostly passing thru small towns and country driving. I think a 60/40 mix is likely pretty accurate.

Ok, thanks. I was hoping it was computed somehow.

Hauled the Challenger on a trailer on a ~600 mile trip over the weekend. Got 15.2 mpg hand calculated, with 87 octane and 3.21 gears.

Same trip when I had 3.92s was 12mpg. 3.21 for the win. Again.

Can't compare the two. My 3.92 gets 13+ towing 10k. Any other 3.21 will not get the same mpg, but I see where your coming from.

I heard that the hurricane gas mileage with the 3.92 is significantly better than the Hemi. Does better towing.

I am very happy with my (non towing) MPG regularly get 22-23 on Hwy terrible when towing my travel trailer about 8mpg

Sounds like someone lied to you LOL.

Hurricane with 3.21's will win

Hurricane with 3.21's will win a participation trophy.

Fixed it for you. That combination will only be available on 2WD Tradesman, Big Horn and Laramie models.

Do you mean "half-truck" Tradesman, Big Horn and Laramie models?

They probably get used more as "trucks" than most of the 4wd Laramies and Limiteds

Wonder how many people will have as much difficulty changing oil in the Hurricane, as they do on the very simple to change oil 5.7?

It's all electronic. The oil changes itself. Don't you read the literature???

 

[theblet]

Prob gonna have to change the blinker oil on these trucks

Without a dipstick, how will anyone accomplish that.

I'll believe it when I hear REAL world numbers from you guys after you buy and drive them.

But who will be the first to run 5-30W in an SO? Or an HO?!

 

[Tonka2020]

I can relate. My fully optioned Limited Hemi with the eTorque is only gettin 13.7 mile with mostly highway driving.

Same and I just had the plugs changed. I'm getting at Least 8 mpg less mpg than I was this summer. I cannot believe the winter fuel mix would make this big of a difference nor 150 lbs of sand bags in my bed.
