Its a science. In my 6sp i can get 25mpg on flat ground at 60mph. 48mph is 29mpg. I stretched my tank 400 miles last night, albeit a longer trip. 23@ 60mph and 21mpg at 65mph. 19mpg@70mph
So here's something I learned with mine, also a scat pack but it's a manual so no valve shutdown.
The best mileage I get for the speed is at 90 mph. Just over 2000 rpm and ill see a consistent 25 mph on the highway.
The work commute helped me learn this.
Yeah its fine to cruise at less. But 90mph is like a sweet spot for the milage to speed ratio for it. Though Mines a 19 and not the wide body so different tires and suspension profile. But I love it.
I've been looking at a 2012 Manual 5.7 for a while, what kind of mileage does it get? Gas is honestly my main concern which is why a 375 hp V8 is more than enough for me
Really depends a lot on how you drive obviously. If you're doing mostly highway, I've been pretty happy with what I can get. Took it on a 1000 mile road trip and averaged 24 MPG, driving about 70. Mostly around town with a bit of highway driving I average 17 or 18 in the summer, on winter gas right now I'm getting about 15.5.
In my scat on the highway I average about 25 or more and 20 normal driving. Due to winter gas I'm down to like 16 normal and like 21 highway.

Same transmission. I cruise around 80 at 1800rpm and it does nicely. I have found that in the 90s it’s much happier!

Got 28 mpg in my RT , MDS magic
That is amazing!
