Dodge or Dog???

Hey

We just got back from a little trip accross New York about 600 mile round trip. Friends of ours followed with there New Chevy Silverado 5.3 and Dodge 360 Hemi. We all tow 27 foot 5th wheels. Heavy winds bucked us all the way home. Dodge owner says he was flat out at 65 mph and must have got around 6mpg! They ran out of fuel before the rest area on thruway! The Chevy did perform well though on fuel but had no wheres near the Titan power! We got around 11.2 mpg on the way home and 12.0 on the way there. They really took alot of ribbing when they ran out on the off ramp, but of course I offered to pull the Dodge to the pump! They are not to happy with the new Dodge.

Easy now, I can already smell a flame war.

Nice! One tip though, the Hemi is a 5.7L (345c.i.)

Yep, if it's a 360, it's a 5.9 Magnum, and not the Hemi.

Thanks for the story, stand by for the flames from the non believers.

Nice story, I wish I could have seen that as I travel the thruway often, which exit did the dodge run out of gas on?
