W#> My V6 Charger averaged 30MPG on our trip to Rhode Island, which is just 
insane
W#> when I compare it to equally powered cars from the 70s.  300HP 70s car 
would
W#> get 6-8MPG.  My car is also not that light at 4000 pounds!  That is almost
W#> twice the weight vs. my 2002 Monte Carlo.
W#> 
W#> Fuel injection, computer controlled, higher compression, and more gears in 
the
W#> transmissions has all helped to get much higher MPG.  
W#> 
W#> My Charger is an 8-speed automatic.

looks like the automotive sub was relocated :)  The Cyclone V6 in my Taurus is 
all aluminum vs those cast iron monsters of the past... not to mention 288 hp 
and four electronically variable camshafts. I have had it at 36 mpg on the 
highway in a 2 1/2 ton car.
