Unfortunate since even the base model SRT8 engine yields 20-21mpg at 90mph on the freeway. And it’s simple as pie. No clutter, nothing hidden, easy to work on and reliable as a Swiss watch.
Wonder how much better mpgs the Ho Hurricane is?
My son's friend has a TRX, a Challenger and two Durango's all HellCat's. Smart guy, he will never loose a single cent and probably make money.Grit dog wrote:

While that may be true for some parts of the world, like Canada with a huge percentage of its electricity produced by hydroelectric, it’s certainly not true of our neighbours to the south.
In the US 65% of all electricity is generated by burning coal, natural gas or oil.
And I burn my garbage in the back yard just to make free rad shed a virtual tear! Lol
In a used 55 gallon EVIL oil barrel I hope.Grit dog wrote:

That's exactly why the Hemi is going away- to help increase the CAFE numbers so that Stellantis (or whomever owns Chrysler this week) doesn't have to pay for the carbon credits. It will be interesting to see if Tesla continues to be profitable after they are no longer selling carbon credits. I imagine they will, since they were able to leverage the profits from selling the credits to accelerate R&D of models like the Y.
I kind of agree with StonedPanther on the general silliness of compliance credits- nothing but an environmental shell game. Kind of like destroying a wetland area but "creating" another wetland 50 miles away to make up for it.
I dont care to get into argument about enviroment,but right now theres about 150 forest fires burning in Canada due to very dry hot weather sending smoke all the way to NYC making breathing very dificult.
Maybe its normal,maybe result of human created polution I dont know.
Anyhow
My next car will be Tesla so dont need to buy expensive gasoline and breathe poisonous exhaust fumes.
Maybe we need electric trains everywhere to reduce polution
This is how you Build Back Better :)

OMG, stop crying…:
It's because the morons in the US and Canada let the fires get out of hand before they attack them plain and simple.JaxDad wrote:

In the NW we are KILLING SALMON using Hydro Power charging those "CLEAN" vehicles.- Unfortunate since even the base model SRT8 engine yields 20-21mpg at 90mph on the freeway. And it’s simple as pie. No clutter, nothing hidden, easy to work on and reliable as a Swiss watch.

Really sad as they made BIG bucks on those muscle cars. free radical wrote:

So you can buy expensive electricity, 79% of which is generated from either fossil fuel or nuclear power, instead of expensive gasoline. My electric generation rates per KWH have increased by @ 20% each of the last two quarters. My $175.00 monthly bill from last June is now up to $230.00 and I used about 25% less this period than last year, and they've petitioned the IURC here for another rate increase come September.
Good Luck with it. Another shell game.
