13 mpg

 

not too shabby for a 9" lift, some oversized tires and a lead foot

 

I usually avg around 12 or so

 

Do it by hand, you are never going to get an accurate number from the overhead.

 

It's just not the same doing it by hand,

 

But hell, your guys with your mini 4.7s get good MPGs. Trade off is power and speed. Thats why I ddint get one.

 

I agree, overhead is so much better. You can just sit there and it will give it to you.

 

I disagree, I think they're about the same. I think the only thing about the 4.7's is a lot of them are Regular cab 2wds so they seem like they get better. I've been right on part with most hemi owners with my qc 4x4 with the 4.7.

 

I was gonna trade my "mini 4.7" in for an 08' QC Hemi. I was thinking that that "MDS" thingy might help on gas mileage on the highway. But from what I'm seeing, the 5.7's don't have as good gas mileage. But, yes, the trade off is power and speed.

 

I have a Power Wagon and am getting a tad over 13.
