Doode, I was soo psyched today. I was crusing around on Virginia Beach Blvd. In Virginia Beach, VA. Here's the trick, keep your rpm as much under 2000 as possible, and if you're gonna need the gas stay on it, also keep it in 2wd I still see idiots drive in 4wd wondering how they always have to fill up. I was averaging out like 21.0 MPG. If I had my camera I would've took a video of it, next time I will guys, if you don't believe me. After finding that out, my dad was like if you can save gas that much on my 4.7, i'mma go get you the Hemi with MDS, and I was like YES! Haha, I can't wait to get that hemi.

I was just reading the owners manual on my 08 Hemi 1500 and it recommends 89 octane for the HEMI, 87 for all other engines. 93 octane will not benifit anything, it just takes more heat to fire, so detonation is less likely with hi compression engines and more ignition timing.
