Default New HEMI Owner

Alright. I finally come over to the darkside..(haha) My wife an me traded in our 04 Ram, and 03 Trailblazer for a 07 Ram, and 07 Nitro. Can anyone explain when the MDS works and if they see an increase in MPG. I was looking to the trip calculator, and MPG was reading about 10. I know it gets betterwith more miles.
Thanks in advance.

Yea ur mileage will get better. The MDS kicks in at highway cruising speeds i've heard of mileage being up to 25 mpg when cruising at 65-70 mph where the mds kicks in

It all depends on how you drive her.ive personally seen 22mpg on the highway at 70mph. but have also seen a consistent of 11.7 in the city with a low of 9mpg. Like i said it all depends on how you drive her.

Heres a pic of the new toy. Unfortunatly I won't pick it up till tomorrow. They are goingto detail it before I take it, and they are closed on sundays. But the paper work has been signed.
