It’s not the direct cost that annoys me on the mpg. It’s the lack in total mileage between refueling that gets old relatively quick. A truck of this caliper should be able to travel at least 400 miles without having to stop. Hopefully someone will come out with a larger fuel tank that mounts in the oem location.

The problem is today's anti-social society. I remember when my dad bought his first new truck, 2001 f150 Harley Davidson. It was (to us) the biz-neez back then! Most people from our little town had never seen one, but my dad would love to take it to the gas station because it would spark up a conversation with the guy at the next pump and sometimes even lead to a friendship, but now we (myself included) are more comfortable not dealing with strangers, we cant be inconvenienced for 10 mins every 300 fun filled miles. I love being asked about my cars by guys that have the same passion for big thirsty American V8s as i do and a lot of the time those conversations start at the pump! We are lucky to live in a time when trucks like these are still available and most here are lucky enough to own one so enjoy it and see you at the pump!

this is exactly my non bothersome problem as it has stood the last 5 or 6 years with hemis lol
the hellcat did it
my PW does it, and this truck gets the looks and thumbs. My powerwagon can be seen with all four tires off the ground....ask me how i know.

its my passion and i wake up EVERY SINGLE MORNING thanking god i have my eyes hands and feet so i can get in my rigs and go full throttle....which is why this blasted front diff is really grinding my gears.

Soon we’l be sitting on our ass at the charging station for a half hour and have no choice but to ram to each other.

I totally agree with you.
