    I am back down to 19MPG Average on my 6.1
    since they went to the Winter Blend Ethanol Gas over here.

    Yeah, same here. I still have to fill up my 69 Camaro with gas before storing it. Totally forgot to do that before the winter blend came out. I hate having to run that stuff in the spring until I can get a fresh tankful of the good stuff.

    On the upside at least it does absorb any water in the fuel system.

    Fuel prices in Canada are significantly higher than the USA which makes for a more 'Challenging' operating cost (which I wasn't having to incur when our border access wasn't interrupted due to current circumstances). In any event my 550 horses are getting 15.5 mpg in city driving which appear to correlate with stock R/T, SRT, and Scat Pack #'s in city?

    I get around 14 in the city but I tend to get up to speed fast and often. On the highway I get around 23.5 if I'm driving at 65 or 70mph. Spirited driving I'm under 10 all day long. I'm also running 89 octane the last few weeks to see how it performs...most of the time I run 93 though

    Ive never bothered with keeping track of mileage. With a car like these its inevitable you’ll been burning lots.
    Just get in and drive!:driver:

    Driver's info center has a page that gives you the calculated MPG. Factory probably disabled it on your guys' high end Hellcats and Redeyes. Getting good mpg was pretty low on my list of must haves, hence why I have a Challenger. Long burnouts was high on the list.

    But you don't get to see how much you spent on GAS this year unless you Excel it :)

    I really just do it to watch for problems.
