2011 Dodge HEMI Charger R/T AWD Review

MPGomatic.com puts a 2011 Dodge HEMI Charger R/T AWD to a grueling week-long test drive. [ Full Review: http://www.mpgomatic.com/2011/10/31/2011-dodge-charger-rt-hemi-review/ ]

The 2011 Dodge Charger R/T is equipped with a 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engine producing 370 horsepower (HP) and 395 foot pounds of torque, mated to a five-speed automatic transmission.

Forget about the notion of V8s as gas hogs. This HEMI uses Fuel Saver Technology to drop into four-cylinder mode under light-throttle conditions.

MPGomatic produces car reviews videos with a unique focus on gas mileage, in-cabin technology, and driveability. Yep, we're the folks that shoot those 0-60 MPH tests.

Holy cow! Great MPG. This is why I tracked down your review...my AWD R/T is arriving soon and now I have a mileage target to shoot for. Can I beat mpgomatic!?

[mpgomatic]

@osirtulane Go for it! :) Practice driving with your foot off the pedals whenever possible. Use inertia & keep a wide following distance.

Great review Dan! Does the new model show on the display when it's in 4-cylinder mode?

[mpgomatic]

@willoverkill I'm not sure about the 2012 R/T, but the 2012 V6 has an "Eco" indicator ...

@JoeBird76 We'll get to it ... I want to do an epic Challenger road trip ...

Can't wait for the new tranny!

I wish dodge could figure out how to get the hemi to stay in 4 cylinder mode when the car is in park. That would save alot of fuel.

@mpgomatic Does the R/T model come with the shiftable gears like the SRT-8 has?

I had to rewind to make sure I heard 4,400lbs...

@BlazerLT Looks like you got one, since Chrysler 300C burnes more gas even mpgomatic tests. Just like you are it seems that Dan never managed the same gas consumption numbers of the charger with a 300C.
