Gotta ask, do you guys have a heavy foot into the SE to compensate for the supposed lack of power? What is the load you are carrying, tire pressure, etc which will affect mpg?

If the SXTs and RT are saying they are getting in the range of 17-23mpg, on average, sumpthins' up.

Minis are looking like a nice alternative right now...maybe as a dingy on a Magnum!

I usually get 15-18 mpg in town with my RT, but I also have my MDS "on" indicator light that tells me when I am in the 4 cylinder mode. Plus, I have learned to coax it to come one when it normally would not be on. With the price of gas now, I try to stay at speeds that keep the MDS on as long as possible. I also run 87 octane gas, but I am at 2800 ft. elevation, too.
