if you are concerned about gas mileage than the srt8 probably isn't for you. Depending on how you drive and your daily commute, you probably won't do any better than 16mpg. Most people who get this beast including myself wanted it for the power and really don't mind filling up every week.

Agreed. Any light you want to shine on it, it's not good.
However...The defendant's lawyer says:
There are MANY vehicles out there with worse mileage and less power.
Real world mpg on many vehicles is the same 16 mpg. Heck, my wife's paltry RX 330 gets 19mpg on average. Meanwhile my 5.6l Titan gets 14.5.
So if you're really concerned about 5 mpg difference, then things like Tires, insurance and oil changes will FAR out weigh the cost difference and you should consider another vehicle.

really don't mind filling up every week.
Only if you do not drive a lot. I average about 220 miles per fill up.
I most average around 12mpg combined. The regular Jeeps (Hemi & 4.7's) average 13-15.

Yeah when considering a Jeep SRT8, gas mileage should not be a concern because we all know the outcome, its AVG MPG = poor haha.

+1 on what everyone's posted. For me it's about smiles per gallon, not miles per gallon. Driving this Jeep is a treat to be savored every day.
na, not for you dude. maybe a flex-Tahoe:eek: that might work better for you.
