I have absolutely no/zilch/nada/zero/none etc etc intention of actually buying an SRT-8, but I'm really, reallu looking forward to the idea of taking one out for a thrash (sorry roadtest) for the day. The running costs for an SRT-8 in the UK would be horrendous to imagine (premium unleaded is running at $6.48 per us gal (£8.08 per uk gal) so I would imagine the 15-18 mpg that you would/could/might get would be an expensive proposition -------- but the £25000 that you have saved by not buying an E55 or M5 could always be put against the fuel consumption.
