@60 mph, 17.3 MPG
@50 mph, 18.2 MPG
(Cruise control, about 10-15 miles each run, flat road elevation.)
Just posting, since I'll be installing the 180 deg thermo, Corsa, and DUB for reference. My average is 13 MPG @ I95 = 80MPH and every EZPass gate, WOT to 80mph, plus, Holland Tunnel and Manhattan traffic.
BTW, the billet antenna ROX.

NAW, not regularly. These were just test runs. I-95 has long strips of flat hiway for miles. Thus, I do these tests on all my cars, from time to time. New, the SRT8 did 1 mile less, per gallon, as stated above. But with traffic and my lead foot there's no way I get these numbers regularly. 12-13 mpg is my average. I do like to enjoy the power of this car, so my fuel efficiency isn't that great. But on an empty road, with cruise enabled, I can accurately track MPG. Well, as accurately as the computer does it for me. Even if it's less than posted (calibration might be off), it's 1 mpg more than brand new. So I have a reference point.
I drive through SI at least once per week. Maybe we could do a North-East meet sometime? Or Tri-state area? I live in NJ. Before we do, I have to finish my mods.. The DUB cai didn't come in yet.. And, some a$$hole stole my rear wiper. Ugh.
