Looks like I will have an expensive trip to the dragon this fall with extra stops along the way.

Pull 2 plugs and try again!

Re: 400 miles on full tank (SRT6 coupe)

400 miles? No way with my car. In my normal commute in absolutely horrible traffic I average around 19 mpg. The best I have been able to achieve under ideal highway conditions is about 23 mpg. That's about 225 miles (12 gal @ 19mpg) when I usually fill up and maybe 325 (14 gal @ 23mpg) if I really push it on the highway.

Considering the tall rear end gear and the smallish 3.2L V6 I expected better mpg than my Vettes but this thing sucks gas like a Chupacabra sucks blood. This is my first S/C car. My turbos seemed a lot more efficient when driven gently. No complaints though. I love the engine/transmission combination.

I have the Eurocharged tune BTW.

I got 378 miles once. Did you keep your foot off the throttle (under 100 kph?)

As I wrote, "lambo, tts and other kills all during this tank" so nope. I have been pushing a lot. But I have to say that it is drinking a lot for only doing 400 miles. But hey, maybe I should be happy
