A lot of people are slightly turned off by the Dodge Challenger and other similar vehicles because of the size of the engine. People assume that the 6.2 liter, V8 engine that provides 707 horsepower will be extremely inefficient. In fact, most trim levels for the Challenger have an efficiency rating of 19 miles per gallon in the city and 30 miles per gallon on the highway. These numbers have probably shocked you. Of course, it depends on what kind of driving you're doing, but we're talking about normal speeds on a typical drive.
Dodge has four different trim levels to choose from for the Challenger. A standard eight-speed automatic transmission and double overhead cam engine, a vehicle weight of just under 5000 pounds, and a multi-link rear suspension help increase the overall efficiency of this muscle car. The fuel tank is slightly small at 18 gallons, so you might find yourself filling up a bit more frequently than you're used to.
