My V6 Charger averaged 30MPG on our trip to Rhode Island, which is just insane
when I compare it to equally powered cars from the 70s.  300HP 70s car would
get 6-8MPG.  My car is also not that light at 4000 pounds!  That is almost
twice the weight vs. my 2002 Monte Carlo.

Fuel injection, computer controlled, higher compression, and more gears in the
transmissions has all helped to get much higher MPG.

My Charger is an 8-speed automatic.
