No there is not a light to tell you if MDS is active but one can be made easily. I get ~400km to a tank.

I'm pretty sure the hemis actually get slightly better gas mileage than the 4.7s bc they are more efficient even though they are bigger.

Or am I imagining reading that somewhere?

There is a simple DIY in the FAQ section for adding an indicator light for MDS activation.

and what the hell is a "km" and "k per tank"???
