My '95 Concord gets 35+ mp Imperial gallon at that speed.
Don't forget the std. 30 is RWD, which I know won't do the winter job that I require; driving to the ski hills in Western Canada. So AWD is needed on the 300 for my driving. My Concord with all season Michelin tires meets my winter requirements perfectly.
Actually someone posted that they compared the electronic average economy from a 300M with their own calculations based on several fillups and the results were identical.
I have rented several and never even noticed the windows were smaller. From the inside it seemed perfectly normal. The puney engine and horrible a/c were enough to scare me away from one though.
just for the way you drive. not to say there's anything wrong with the way you drive, but there are many variables to driving that affect mileage such as speed, traffic etc...
I've got a '69 Coronet R/T that gets 10 in the city. That's not the problem. The problem is that it gets 12 on the highway, AC off, and driving like I have a raw egg between my foot and the gas pedal- which is no way to drive a SuperBee or an R/T :-)
Driving it like there's a cockroach to be stomped on the gas pedal is what makes owning it worth EVERY gallon.... :-)
FWIW, my wife's 3.5L v6 LH car which gets 28 highway only gets about 14 when she's been using it to take the kid to school and go to the store with literally NO highway driving, so I'm not too surprised that a 300C or Magnum would dip down to at least the 12-13 mpg range under that kind of usage. But who cares- under THAT kind of usage, you're driving so few miles that your overal fuel consumption is pretty minimal. People I've talked to say they get mid-upper 20s on the highway, which is great for cars of that size, and only a couple of MPG worse than a v6 LH car.
Mid-grade unleaded is recommended for the 5.7 Hemi, the 6.1 in the SRT models is the one that takes premium.
I wish they would just offer plain white. I have a black M and while it's nice when clean and polished, it sure takes a lot of time to keep it that way.
