'05 Hemi magnum REAL mileage

Anybody had one of these long enough to report real city/highway mileage
numbers? The truck hemi numbers are very bad, but the truck version does not
deactivate cylinders under computer control.


Seen a few running around, but all V6's.

======================================

I haven't, but as a point of reference, the truck numbers will be much
worse even with an equivalent engine due to the added weight being
dragged around.

True enough, but the truck numbers are bad even vs. the corresponding GM,
Ford, Toyota, Nissan.

well man... it's a HEMI, it's not designed at ALL for gas mileage, if it
were, it wouldn't be a HEMI, you can't have it both ways... (you are
comparing a HEMI to a nissan and toyota????)

Yes, I have an R/T model and the mileage is about 10-12 round town. Of
course I have been more excited for the first 2 weeks of ownership and
probaly putting my foot in it a bit more than I would normally.
The car overall is awesome to drive and has an excellent ride. I hope to
take it on a road trip this coming weekend and will post a more definite
highway mileage.
