RE: MPG
702 Bullitt,
About the same here... I have seen 28 MPG on the way to and from Las Vegas from Southern California. Which seems very logical at 4 Cylinders, since I routinely get 14 MPG on City Streets and in Traffic. With the RT, it is hard to keep off the pedal. Just too much fun....

RE: MPG
I have gotten about 27-28 MPG with my R/T driving at about 80 MPH but this is accelerating very slow and hardly using the brakes. I think the R/T is almost at good as the 3.5 on the highway if you drive very smooth. In stop and go around town all bets are off with the R/T. I wouldn't be suprised if I only got 10 MPGmuch of the time.

RE: MPG
I recently bought an '06 R/T Hemi AWD and have been quite unimpressed with the MPG I get. Of course you can't know exactly how I drive it, but for comparison I can say that the same 22 mile commute that I was doing with a '94 V6 Chevy Beretta where I got about 25MPG, I've been getting around 15 or 16 MPG with the Magnum, though it dropped a few more MPG when I had to start it some additional times in the cold Chicago winter, going out for lunch and such. That's way less than the difference I expected to get by comparing the EPA figures for both cars. I don't know if those figures can be trusted at ALL anymore!
I've been considering trading "down" to a 3.5L version so I can keep AWD and the traction/stabilty features which I love, but I want to check what other people are getting. My mileages for "local" driving are given above, and I can say that driving 75MPH on flat midwest highways I got 18-19MPG only, with very minimal "hot-*******" (family in car!). Is this typical or should I consider having this vehicle checked for trouble, something that doesn't show up on engine diagnostics, etc.?
I'm going to take another long highway trip again and I can verify these figures. The AWD and power is a beautiful combination for performance, and the look is a nice head-turner, both well worth the risk of sideswiping folks occasionally because I can't see out the sides very well.... =)

RE: MPG
I have an R/T and the highest I've seen is 23 mpg on the highway (60 mph)and it drops to 19 mpg on the interstates (80 mph). And I certainly get less around town which is the bulk of my driving. I guess that's why I kept my '95 Eclipse witha turbo 4 banger. I use the Magnum on the weekends. I don't know how everyone else is getting higher mpg than mine.
