| 2012 | 2dr Coupe 470-horsepower 6.4L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
Better than I thought I would get out of a Huge V8. It is my Daily Driver so I do fether the pedal sometimes. If hypermiling I can get 27 to 31 highway and a combination of 23mpg total......if I can get through a tank without opening it up. |

I think they could have made the 4 cylender deactivation for the Manuel as well and improve gas milage. |
| 2009 | 2dr Coupe 376-horsepower 5.7L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
City milage is not very good and it is so hard to stay off the gas. |
