Guess I'm in the don't know-don't care group.  I care a little bit but I didn't buy it for mileage.  If I was using it for a daily driver, I'm sure I'd sing a different song.  I know that if I tank up in Perrysburg, Ohio, it's pretty much empty when I hit the southeast corner of Columbus.

If you wanted mileage,you got into the wrong hobby.Maybe trade for a VW Bug, I hear they are collectible now.

My hemi 4spd car gets about 6.5 on 110 leaded but I didn't buy it for gas mileage.  My RumbleBee, towing the trailer with the hemi car on board gets about 13.  That's better gas mileage than the 10 - 12 mpg that my 440 4spd car can do.  For economy my 318 3 speed Charger gets about 19 on the highway, on regular gas.

I can honestly say that I average 12 MPG with my 440 4bbl.  I baby it, mainly because it's never been rebuilt.  When I'm on the interstate, I don't usually go faster than 60 MPH, to save $$. 

I've found that if I keep my tires inflated about four or five pounds more than what's suggested, I can keep my mileage around 12 too.

I use to get about 6 MPG before my rebuild, now I get about 8 to 10 depending on how close to the floorboard I push the pedal.

I think needsSOMEanswers wants us to do her homework for her.

I would never complain about fuel that I put in my Chargers.

I have two daily drivers a V10 Excursion Limited 4x4 and V10 Dodge Ram 3500 dually.  Now thats gas!

Well if it matters. I have an E-Body with a 383 bored .030 over, Edelbrock RPM Performer Intake & 750 cfm carb, 484 Mopar Performance Cam; 2.5"  H-Piped Exhaust, Ported 906 Heads, 2800 Stall, 3.55 gears, MSD Coil, and HP Manifolds. And I believe my gas mileage is 11-12 MPG if I keep my foot out of it.
