RE: multi displacement hemi
This is a very interesting debate and discussion; we would hope (and try to give DC the benefit of 'no doubt') that Mopar Engineering has progressed far past the horrific mistake that GM tried on the automotive public back in the eighties. With that said it is also the specific reason that I purchased a late production 05'. This forum should find the solution for those that need it without spending a fortune or shredding their nerves. As mentioned, it's very difficult to achieve maximum MPG and Power concurrently without some 'grinding-of-the-gears' going on***

RE: multi displacement hemi
Has anyone with an '07 really noticed that much of a difference in gas mileage from any other truck on the road? I understand the theory behind the MDS, and obviously it's something other companies are going to be implementing, but how much does it really save you? Are we talking maybe a few more miles per gallon? In the grand scheme of things, are we talking a few dollars per tank?
I have an '07 1500 w/Hemi and I'm a little annoyed about the shifting up and down all the time, but I really like the truck. I only have 3500 km's on the thing, but the best I've done so far for mileage has been 575 km's to a tank. 98% of those km's were on the highway.
I'm hoping this gets better, because a buddy of mine is getting 900 km's to a tank with his F150. I know it's a smaller motor, but holy crap, that's a pretty big difference.

Real new to here...hello all. With just about 400mi on my o7, hemi QC 4x4, my overhead display has me a little uneasy...7mpg city....10 highway (highway I set cruise control @60 anddrove approx 45 minutes) Is this going to get better as I get more miles on the truck? I love the truck but was hoping for at least low to mid teens. Any comments/help appreciated.
