Hello, I plan to purchase a 2006 Dodge Magnum RT sometime next month. I only drive in the city, and I’m wondering how many kilometers can I make on a Magnum RT; keeping in mind that I only do city driving. Also, what is the best way to maintain the best fuel efficiency, what driving habit should I adopt? Keeping it under 3,000 RPM when accelerating? Please help, thank you.
Answer:With a 06 Magnum R/T expect between 13.5-16L/100km with all stop and go city driving. With a 72L tank on the R/T Magnum...I avg. about 425 to 500km/ tank depending on many conditions. MDS does not kick in (4 cylinder mode) till approx. 35km/hr. At idle or slower than 35km/hr you are running on all 8 cylinders. At the upper limit the MDS will disable when you reach speeds over 140km/hr. The best way to utilize MDS is to actually install a MDS indicator light to let you know when the HEMI is running in 4 cylinder vs 8 cylinder mode. Very easy to do with a few parts from Radio Shack. I did this with my 05 Magnum RT AWD. Also, if you are city driving don't do jack rabbit starts, however, this is easier said than done with the Hemi & dual exhaust. You may want to look at the Superchips power programmer as you can set up your Hemi Magnum to utilize 87 Octane fuel and run in fuel economy mode. You will see gains of about 0.5-1.0L/100km's depending on driving conditions. With the Hemi the best RPM range for best fuel economy is about 2000RPM. Also, be sure you use 5W20 engine oil as any thicker oil will disable the MDS system and you will be running on all 8 cylinders. A good site to visit is LX forums...they have some good threads on how to install an MDS indicator light & other modifications to improve fuel mileage. http://www.lxforums.com
My Ford lovin neighbor is trying to convince me that my 78 Dodge Magnum XE is only worth $3,000 dollars by what the kelly blue book is saying, I dont think he knows what he is talking about. Is there a website that will let me know how much historical cars are worth?
Answer:right now its not considered to be a collectors item or a real sought after car so he,s pretty close to being right,but you cant always go by kbb prices they are only good for starting point,each car will be priced differently and according to its condition,one that was a one owner vehicle and really low miles would be worth a lot more,and to the right person it would be worth more than 3000 bucks,they might have bought a new one and want to replace it for sentimental reasons,right now kbb prices are what everyone goes on and they are only good for a starting point,price it according to the condition of it and the mileage it has on it,good luck.
For example (Mopar) I am a full time student and have a full time job, i have recently bought a 2005 Dodge Magnum R/T and wanted to fix it up, but the only thing that is holding me from doing it is money. if by any chance i can get help from sponsors to fix up my ride, engine wise. Any information would be greatly appreactiated on finding what to do next.
Answer:Why do you think you could get stuff for free, just because you are a student you think they'll say, hey he's a student and he's got a full time job lets just give him free stuff to pimp out his ride, get a life dude!!!
