the multi displacement system is a joke. I traded my 05 dodge for my new 08, big mistake. I've tried haveing dealers remove it, no luck yet. Some might beable to deal with it, but not me. Im about to trade for a chevy, and im a hard core dodge fan. If had known what a set of straight pipes sounded like on it, i would have never traded. If there is a dealership that will remove it, please let me know.
Don't chevy's have MDS too? pretty sure the newer ones do!
This seems like the 100th thread I've seen on this forum in the short few weeks I've been here, I still am waiting to hear from somebody that has MDS turned off and how the mileage was affected. if it's only 1-2 MPG I may want to turn it off myself so I can run exhaust like I want,cuz I don't drive enough miles a year to worry about 1mpg.

My city is the same but my highway did go down a couple...well worth it IMO. Not just for the sound either...the ability to actually maintain a constant speed is priceless.
I have had mds turned off with the 3815 superchips since that feature became available still get 12-13 mpg hand calculated with my heavy right foot and thats with the 500lb toolbox

What was your mileage before you turned it off? I currently average 15.5-16mpg.
The overhead before hung around 17 now 16 without mds actual miles devided by gallons has always varied between 12-13 depending on the weight of my foot and mix of city and hwy driving ( usually leave the stop sign quick and travel 80 on the hwy with quick bursts above).
