So what kind of MGP do you guys think the 09' will be getting?

 

i drove one with the 4.7 and 3.92 gears bout 35 miles (10 city and 25 highway) and it was getting about 21 according to the overhead....who knows how accurate that is considering it was an engineering vehicle tho

 

So what would you figure the hemi would get?

 

i would expect prolly the same if not a little better, but too too sure yet...the few times we've gotten a Hemi we haven't been tryin to see what the mileage is like...too much fun to drive lol

 

I heard the percentage increase the Hemi is suppose to get (Although forget what it was). Everything else being equal, which it may not be, the percentage calculated to1 more MPG over the GEN III. Of course the other factors I do not know that will affect MPGs is wind resistance and weight.

The 2010 will offer a hybrid MDS Hemi, which debutes in the 2009 Durango.

 

it's also on the 09 Aspen lol......ok well the Ext. Cab 09 Ram i drove today (2WD, 3.92 gears, slight wind) was getting 18.1 on the interstate...i dropped it off and picked up a RCLB 4.7L 2WD 3.92 gears and it was getting 18.3......so take it for what ya will

 

How much were you sinking your foot into it?

 

didn't really get my foot into either one of em...set the cruise on both of em around 75 and just let em roll....and the ram with the 4.7 was a RCSB, not a long bed lol
