MPG With 6.4

[DGatzby]

I have no idea what mine is.
Did not get it for the gas mileage ability.
I still like one of the original quotes about the hellcat:
At full throttle the hellcat will use a full tank of gas in 13 minutes.
I believe it was on a placard that you could get at the other place?

Takes that long?

Yep. 1.5 gal/min. What do we have 18.3gal?
12.2 min.

dont care bout mileage either...rarely @ full throttle...but close to it 75% of the time...

My offshore boat got 1,85 gal per mile...(2 engines)..175 gal tank....800/900 a day on a nice day...

Yeah, that was one thing I didn't care for in the Trackhawk, and don't in the TRX.

Those are geared too low for my liking, probably to ease the stress and the drivetrain while also appealing to the stoplight to stoplight crowd.

You aint got no stoplights

Correct. And even if I did, accelerating full blast from a standstill has never really appealed to me. Guess I got my fill of that at work.

Instead I like maintaining speed through curves, always have and probably always will. It's nowhere near as important with the power available now, but was crucial with the underpowered vehicles I used to drive.

I still get a kick outta the whole stop light to stoplight thing...

Isn't that begging for getting tickets?

Not saying that me exceeding the speed limit by 100% doesn't qualify, but when there's nobody else around...

The best I’ve seen was 31 mpg on the way to Carpenteria, CA and 29 mpg on the return. Two adults and two thin teenagers on this 130 mile road trip. However, the smiles per gallon was low…an inverse relationship with MPG.

Not sure I'd survive driving 130 miles slowly enough to get that kind of mileage.

About as much fun...as drivin a Prius,(shoulda stayed home)

I think my Kitty gets better mileage than my 300C[6.4]
The Challenger has more power and less gear. It doesn't work as hard.

I never use the buttons on the car. I only really use the cruise, climate, seat-coolers, and the SRT panel. I've only had the radio on in either car, twice for a friend.
I hear there's a bunch of silly/useless stuff that you can play with. I hate my phone and video-games...so I couldn't care any less about the gimmicks.
The funny part about gas and cost is....when you need it, you have to buy it. And it'll cost whatever they're charging.

I use the paddle shifters, turn signals, the heater controls (and once or twice I've used the A/C), and the radio is on, with the gauges displayed on the performance pages.

Not that I really hear/listen to the music, but it's a habit.
