| 2009 | 4dr Sedan supercharged 556hp 6.2L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
14mpg is not great. However, the performance makes more than up for it. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 304-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
City mileage acceptable; Highway mileage could be better. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.6L V6 5-speed automatic RWD |
I get 20-21mpg on my commute which is about 70%hwy, and normally 25-27 with pure freeway driving, it just seems with technology today they could kick that up to 23-24 and 28-30 respectively. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.6L V6 5-speed automatic RWD |
Average at best. Yea it is a heavy car with all the safety eqipment. |
