1) Gas mileage is not bad as long as you keep out of the gas. I would average right at 18 for my driving. I get around 16 with my GTO now.

2) I just used regular. Mine was not tuned for it so no need to run it.

3) I only got bored with the auto which is why I have a manual GTO now.


As for the one being sluggish, there was either something wrong with it or you drove a V6.
I am sorry, but Rapid runner is right. The old Charger and G8 put down pretty similar numbers, the 11+ Charger is worlds ahead of the 06-10 models. It is constantly compared to BMWs from when BMWs were actually about driving. The interior makes the old G8 interior look as dated as it is. Also stock R/Ts have hit as quick as 13.2 bone stock.
