If it weren't for the lights, I wouldn't have been able to make it out, but nice car!

Mine was getting gas mileage in the 15's and 16's until I hit 1000 miles. Now it's in the mid to upper 17's. I like that color. It was in my top 3 for choices.

I noticed the same thing. I got horrible gas mileage but this has gotten much better as i reach the 1000 mile mark. I also am noticing better/smoother engine sounds while accelerating and shifting (generally 2-3/ 3-4)

I was wondering and expecting that. My Hemi 300C actually got better around 1,000 miles and than at around 7,000 opened up as if I added 50 extra horses. Was wondering if I would see the same with this engine. Hope I do, it takes away the depresion from putting on so many miles knowing its getting better!

I've got around 600 on mine, and I'm having the same increase in MPG. Like you guys...started in the 14's and 15's...now I'm in the 17-18 range.

3200 miles and counting...avg MPG is hovering around 23 now with my 25 mile interstate commute. More power, better sounds and smoother shifts than on the day I picked it up.
