Chrysler plans to boost gas mileage
June 22, 2007

Chrysler Group announced new measures to boost gas mileage for its cars and trucks. Among them, its new family of V-6 engines would have the ability to drop to three cylinders when less power is needed, raising fuel economy between 6 and 8 percent. There's no word yet on the mileage for the 2008 Dodge Challenger, above.

 

edmunds had some stories too. (http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=120634)

Also, Chrysler has plans to place its two mode hybrid powertrain in more vehicles and alter the 5.7 Hemi and 4.7 V-8 engines for better gas mileage.

Maybe the 6.1 and 6.4 Hemis will be able to survive as "niche market" muscle cars. The only down side is that we will be paying a hefty gas guzzler tax. [:@]
