    I love Plum crazy! Sweet ride for sure! I ordered a Last Call Hellcat in Plum but it got sold from under me due to a missed email! Ughhh. Decided to keep my Shaker Widebody Scat Pack. Back to the mileage issue... I did recently get 26 HWY in Eco mode doing 80.... Dropped to 19 in Sport at same speed. Locally in town in sport and track I average 11.2 without doing a single burnout or hole shot!!

    I'm quite fortunate to have discovered a much more fuel efficient (but just as enjoyable) daily driver which despite being a 3600 lb car (2007 BMW 335 twin turbo inline 6 modded to 500 hp) get's literally nearly double the mileage average than my Challenger despite being driven as hard and in all the same places.

    I average around 16 mpg in town. But I have gotten 27.5 mpg on a highway trip from Columbus Ohio to Nashville.
    2016 Challenger Scat Pack, 8 speed auto. I was driving an average of 70 to 75. With quite a few 80 to 85 mph bursts. And a 121 mph run for short bit.
    When the engine drops down to 4 cylinders it make a huge difference.
