Default RE: MPG on the 09'

I heard the percentage increase the Hemi is suppose to get (Although forget what it was). Everything else being equal, which it may not be, the percentage calculated to1 more MPG over the GEN III. Of course the other factors I do not know that will affect MPGs is wind resistance and weight.

The 2010 will offer a hybrid MDS Hemi, which debutes in the 2009 Durango.
