I have an '04 HEMI with 44K miles. I've been getting 18-20 Hwy and 16 mpg around town since it was new. I burn only Super or Plus. I jsut put a K&N filter and mpg has gone up about 2 mpg. A lot of your mpg will depend on how you break it in. I broke mine in on a long hwy trip at about 75 mph. I've been told mine is getting above average mpg.

16.2 around town with an 04 Hemi, after i got it, i took it to Florida, i was getting 23 mpg from New Orleans to Pensecola.

I spoke to to a guy who also has a hemi and said he got 1-2 mpg improvement using the K&N filter.

With no modifications to my 5.7 I'm getting 14 around town and 22 on the highway. My plan is to put in a CAI within the next month. [sm=smiley20.gif]
