Fuel for thought
Hey everyone, I just discovered an interesting fact about Chrysler'* 300C Hemi monster. The gas mileage is 17/25 compared to the GXP'* 17/24. Something is not right here when you compare the performance/power output along with the overall package and price. The bonneville is definitely better looking, but the technology is falling behind with the other big boys. The 300C'* numbers are almost big V6 gas figures. It also has a five speed automatic which is becoming the norm for current auto technology for the real challengers out there.

I forgot this little detail. This version of the Hemi had MDS (multiple displacement system). It'* cam followers are hydraulic cylinders. The engine can open valves on individual followers and therby disabling the valve associated with it during low load conditions. That saves fuel.
So, yeah, it has some more technology in that department.
