new Magnum RT fuel consumption

Jun 29, 2005 1 Replies

Can anyone tell me what fuel consumption they are getting with the RT? About town and on long trips would be of interest.



I getting 18 or 19 mpg around town, and 21 or 22 mpg on trips. It's always better if I remember not to drive it like I want to. That's running the recommended mid-grade gas. I may be hallucinating, but the numbers show that I get about 1 mpg better when I run high test, but that's stuff gotten really pricey lately.

In this climate, the A/C runs about 9 months a year, so all those numbers are with the A/C running.

YMMV

I talked to a friend who has a Magnum with the larger 6-cylinder engine. I get better mileage than he does. I attribute this to the fact that the V-8 doesn't have to work as hard to push those 4,400 pounds around, and because of the multi-displacment system on the HEMI.
