    Can anyone tell me what fuel consumption they are getting with the RT?
    About town and on long trips would be of interest.

    I getting 18 or 19 mpg around town, and 21 or 22 mpg on trips. It's
    always better if I remember not to drive it like I want to. That's
    running the recommended mid-grade gas. I may be hallucinating, but
    the numbers show that I get about 1 mpg better when I run high test,
    but that's stuff gotten really pricey lately.

    In this climate, the A/C runs about 9 months a year, so all those
    numbers are with the A/C running.

    YMMV

    I talked to a friend who has a Magnum with the larger 6-cylinder
    engine. I get better mileage than he does. I attribute this to the
    fact that the V-8 doesn't have to work as hard to push those 4,400
    pounds around, and because of the multi-displacment system on the
    HEMI.
