Please keep us "in the loop".
We'd like to hear that it's getting better!

Just a thought... did you use the generator a lot on your trip? The gennie draws from the same tank as the engine. I’ve been told it uses about a gallon an hour, so running for even a few hours a day, over several days, would skew your mileage calculations.

You mean that it's okay for me to blame the Missus and her hair dryer?

Mothertype55 - I am absolutely sure the MPG will improve, just want to know how much. There are a couple of what I call sweet spots for most Challengers MPG/RPMs. First - is to improve MPG by about .3-.5 MPG travel around 60 MPH. Second - to improve open road cruise/shift handling travel around 67 MPH results for us 6.5 MPG.

What we've learned is you're trading MPG for MPH.

In any event way better that your 4.5 experience thus far.
