    Last tank was 21.2, the one before that 19.

    All 2-lane highway/city, no interstate miles.

    I ain't complaining...

    Hehe, thats what I was going to say. Getting ~24mpg on trips with a Hemi; doesn't seem that a 2.7 would get that much better mileage, given that these things weigh about 4200 pounds. What kind of mpg do 2.7's get anyway?

    Reverse bashing? I would still buy the HEMI again and again and again. 15 city and 24 highway with my 5.7.
