Dodge Magnum

I dont think he is accurate on that. I drove a Grand Cherokee V6 with factory wheels which weighs the same as a Hemi Magnum and the most I averaged was 14.5 mpg on the highway.

My dad has one of these (same engine, a 2000) and he's getting about 23 mpg averaged and 26 Highway... what year is your's???

The 2.7 is a pretty s**t engine......

go with the 3.5L

My father is a Chrysler technician at a dealership and he has always said that the 2.7's have to be taken real good care of, because they sludge up oil pretty bad.

good luck

One of the ugliest cars ever in my opinion.

Pioneer Pimp why don't you head over to http://www.lxforums.com and check out the site. Tons of Magnum owners and you can really start researching your vehicle with actual feedback from people who own the type of vehicle you're looking to purchase. There are subforums for the various models of LX vehicles which will help you get the most out of your search.

One of my vehicles is a Chrysler 300C. With the gas prices the way they are I'm pretty happy and can't complain considering I have the FlashPaq installed(running settings on 87 octane from time to time). Car is currently on 20's and gas mileage from recent roadtrip to WY averaged around 24mpg on the highway. I won't debate with nonowners or owners who don't have the same options, settings and driving habit as me because it's a no win situation. I will state that running around 130mph for a few stretches dropped my mpg to 18 but with the time gained it was well worth it. I miss my benz from the past but the C has been a more than adequate replacement.

I love the fake stats given by Crimson Boon that added race into the question lol If you head over to LX forums you'll find out that his response is way off base.

Goodluck with whatever decision you make. You can find some Magnums already upgraded by owners on the forums for pretty cheap.

I have been getting mid 20's out of my 300C (5.7L) on the highway and between 16-18 making short trips around the city. I was quite surprised at just how often the MDS is engaged.

I never realized the magnum was a hatchback chrysler 300, or at least looks like it.
