2006 Durango w/MDS - gas mileage improved 20%
2006 Durango w/MDS - gas mileage improved 20%!
DaimlerChrysler announced today that the Multi-Displacement System (MDS) technology now available for HEMI-powered versions of the 2006 Durango will improve fuel economy for the SUV by as much as 20%.
MDS cylinder deactivation technology is offered in seven Chrysler Group vehicles and 85 percent of HEMI engines. MDS switches between 8 and 4 cylinder modes in 40 milliseconds.
Across all HEMI models, MDS technology is expected to save 60 million gallons of fuel by 2007.

i dont know how much 20% improved gas milage will matter on a HEMI.... regular driving, my uncle is lucky to get 10mpg on his HEMI ram 2500

Example, my mother's V-10 Triton R.V. gets 7-9 MPG. If your uncle's HEMI is getting the same MPG as a huge RV with a V-10...... get my point?
