I am surprised to see how good my gas mileage is now in the R/T after 3500 miles. Today I grannied a 30 mile round trip in the right lane the whole way at about 65. I got 28.5 mpg going and 25 mpg returning. (I think the return was more up hill.) Windows up, no AC. I am amazed this beast can get that mileage! I never thought the sticker MPG rating was gonna be true. Nice Surprise.
Last time I tried a similar test, I was getting about 5mpg less. I wonder if the MDS works during the break in period. I did an oil change over the weekend. Could that have helped wake up the mds system? They don't ship these cars with a break in oil do they?
Would be cool if there was some way to tell when the MDS was operating.
