I was expecting to see 25 highway on the sticker, but it actually has better ratings than even the V6 gas engine, while giving nearly the same torque rating as the 5.7 liter Hemi.
They should of designed the engine to get better than 20 MPG. I mean how many people are going to spend thousands extra on a Diesel engine, then pay a $1 more per gallon on Diesel fuel? If this vehicle got between 25-30 MPG highway I would have been impressed.
