Q: newrvguy wrote 11.8 mpg that sounds correct. hemi is a gas guzzling performance engine i knew a guy that bouhght one then a few days later took it back in exhange for a diesel i thought of doing that but i always thought that once you bought a new truck it was yours. with it being driven off the lot and registered with my plate on it wouldnt it have to be sold back to them for like a $5000 loss yep! some people dont care. youll lose a bit less if you sell it on your own. i have a hemi durango 4x4 with 3.55 gears. when it was new i only got about 12mpg highway at 75mph. i get about 17mpg now with 16k on it. around town i get 14.5mpg. towing i get about 10mpg at 65mph pulling a 5000lb trailer. .
