    Only 727 miles in March? That's at a rate of 8,700 miles per year. Come on guys! If you're going to do a long term test on a car, then test it. Are you scared to drive it? Is it crude? Are you worried about long term reliability? Is that "mysterious" drone sound that comes from somewhere near that mysterious tailpipe-thing?

    "That still leaves our Charger SRT8 tracking slightly above its combined EPA rating of 15 mpg, so no problem here."

    Again with the EPA estimate - isn't it obvious by now, that with a best-tank of almost 26 mpg versus an EPA highway estimate of 18, that the EPA estimate for this car is ridiculously low?

    Your 2011 Infiniti M56 was about the same weight, about the same power and performance, but it got 19.2 mpg. The SRT is getting only 15.2, but you're fine with that because the EPA says you should be.
