Default still fun...

well I've taken it off the market for the time being and decided to 'pop' up to Edinburgh - on the way up managed to get 350miles before the chicken-light came on so quote chuffed with that. The other lovely thing is though the heated seats - lovely!!

Keep it, dude - you know you want to - and such an awesome colour, IIRC!
My SRT starts gagging for more juice at about 320 but I don't hang around - no fun in that!

Is a UK mile the same as a US mile ?
If so, I regularly get to 420 - 450 before the light in my NA comes on.
I do drive the speed limit +5 at all times though

seriously ???? 420/450? 420/450 how in the name of all that's holy do you manage that?? I was averaging 75ish for most of the way (sometimes somewhat slower due to traffic) but if I ever got that sort of return from a tank I think I'd hold a party

Seriously, Mo?
You can't get near 320 in an SRT yet you reckon 100 more from an N/A is feasible?
I know the temptation is always to boot it in the SRT 'cos they do it so well - but are they really that different?
Unless the SRT is so tuned & modded it's become a total guzzler...?!

When we do that, the fuel mileage falls off rather rapidly.... I can't run 160mph everywhere here. They get a little touchy about that. But on a long trip, usually averaging 70 mph, that is what she gets. Which I thought was rather amazing given the mods I have done. But, once that button under the throttle peddle is pushed, the mileage will drop off for sure.
