If you own a Hemi, mileage is inconsequential.   :roflsmiley:  Every once in a while someone will ask me about gas mileage and I say, "doesn't matter, I'm going to drive it whether gas is $1 a gallon or $5 a gallon".    :burnout:

I have about 800+ HP and I am getting around 10 mpg in cruise mode.  That is with a 4.10 rear gear and 31" tall tires.  If I get into it any at all, mpg figures go out the window....    :roflsmiley:     :roflsmiley:

10 MPG with a 800 HP HEMI!  Man, that's what I get with my built-up 383 w/3.55.  :o  I agree with BIGS...it's a freakin HEMI  :bigshades:

By the way, mine is not a Hemi, but I sure would LOVE to drop one in some day.   :money:
