New HEMI Mileage
Weeell, On a long haul through the city today with some decent stretches with no lights or backup I hit 12.1, not driving like my grandmother either. Hopefully it continues to go up as it breaks in, sure is a nice change from the 8 I was getting before!
Wow, my mileage is getting better, I have 1200 kms now since last Thurs and I am now averaging 14.9 in the city. I can hardly wait to try sustained highway driving to find out that mileage.
my 04 hemi quad gets about 13 to 15 in the city. im on it at every light because of the exhaust tone sounds sweeeeet
i use 89 octane with an ocasional premium fill up, truck has 6800 miles

I live on a resort town on a lake so gas is waaay too expensive here, 1.91 a gallon for 87 compared to 1.77 most places within 200 miles around here, and on 87 I've been getting about 12 city and 17-18 highway with a 2500 4x4 HD with a flowmaster
gonna either grab a k&n drop in or save up for a full CAI and hope to hit 14mpg city 20 highway
My mom put a drop in in her 99 mustang v6 and went from 22 to 25.8 mpg

I'm going about 80 miles/day, about 90% is stop and go freeway driving across Detroit subs and getting 16-17 with a 2004 Hemi (about 1,000 miles on it). Its still better than the 15 I was getting in the 97' with the 5.2 !!
you get used to the drive.I live out in the sticks so just driving into town is a 20 mile round trip just for groceries or gas.
If I want to go to a Wally World (Wall Mart) its a good 50 mile trip easy.
The only thing I have done to the truck is a K&N filter and I use Mobil 1 exclusively.
I am thinking of trying Amsoil if I can find it local and talk to some peeps using it.
Those high mile numbers between changes just scare me.
I have ran synthetic oil for the last 10 years but still change mine every 3-4 thousand miles.
