Default RE: Challenger Gas milage: Is it just me?

lol...BLK...
Yeah I hear you 05flhtse.. That almost surprises me though your only getting 12.5mpg's with the R/T, but then I remember you just bought the dang thing so your testing the limits still...
When I first got the HEMI I saw a bunch of 11's and 12'smpg... Now I watch the RPM's to see where I can find a happy medium when driving, I always know I have a lot left
For one week I tried to just see how good I could get the mileage and I got up to almost 16.5 with mostly city driving... but right now it reads 15.5 and I just drive it like it was any other car on the road, which I'm pleased with... It is giving me more confidence with the 6.1 though for sure Im so happy to see these numbers (kinda dissapointed in the 5.7's) I guess my hopes were just to high for the 5.7 this time around... I wanted like 18mpg's or 19 all the way around and the 390hp[&:], but you can't get everything you want I guess... I'm thinking now I'll just pick up an SRT used for a deal somewhere and go out and get it (there's tons of Charger SRT's everywhere now)... Im just hoping we have another model year to come out to make that possible...
