Sticker says 14/20. I've gotten 21 on the highway on occasion, but the way I drive in the city, I get about 10 or 11 there. Damn lead foot...lol.
Din't buy it for the gas mileage
Well,
I am proud to say that the SRT-8 is not a green car!!!! I found out the hard way.
Full tank of gas for my SRT8 $52.00
New pair of Oakley Sunglasses $175.00
Having a fully charged cell phone to call your best friend for gas Priceless

Sticker was 14/20, but I get 18-19 around town and 22-24 on the highway trips, so I've found reality to be much better than sticker. I keep my tire pressure at 36 cold, which I've compared to 32 and it DOES make a difference of about 1-2 mpg. I can't really tell much difference in the harshness of the ride either.
You must drive like my grandma. I get 12 in the city if I'm lucky.:lol:

The local fuzz came out with the 2007 strategy: they are gunna chalk cars parked on the neighborhood trails for 72-hour ticket status. Left the old T-bird on the street regardless. Yo baby. Heard this Sunday, drove the Beast to work Monday anyway. And today. Damn thing is addictive. Nuff said.
On the on-ramp to the costway (toll road) this morning, for an unknown reason, I reset the push-water mileage ****e thingie. Have no explanation. Seconds later, I launched on behind an aggresively driven Pius.
Did I win?
Next question, first question. 18 miles later, the Beast was reading 21.7 mpg after hop-scotching with a Black SRT8 (Charger, of course!) all the way in to my exit ramp.
As I pulled in to an early-bird parking slot in my most-urban parking deck, I thought to myself, I love this thing!

I average between 8 and 9 mpg in the city. The highest I have ever seen on the highway was 12mpg.

I do tend to drive hard when I am not sitting in traffic. I think the pollution+traffic+my right foot when the roads are clear = wonderful gas mileage. Then again I didn't buy this car for great gas mileage.
