I was curious to see how the 3.5L fairs in a lighter car such as the Avenger R/T and it gets a lousy 16 mpg city. This is with a 6 speed auto and it just shows you that its not the weight of the car that makes this engine a fuel drinker but a poor design.

Can you believe a 2010 Avenger R/T with the 3.5L FWD (500 pounds lighter) is the same 16 mpg city as an 2010 Charger R/T?
