If you are that worried about 2.5 miles per gallon I guess I would look for something else. It really isn't a practical every day drive, mantainance will be higher on it also.

I don't know how many miles you put on. But over 50,000 miles, figuring $2.50 per gallon, you will spend about $2,900 more for gas getting 10mpg vrs 13mpg.

That said $2,900 doesn't get you much for mods on a SRT, maybe headers and exhaust system, and that wont improve you milage hardly any. What I am saying is it is cheaper to pay for the extra gas then spend a pile of money trying to make it get better milage.
