SRT8 and fuel consumption

Does the SRT8 have the cylinder deactivation when cruising feature of the regular 300C?

No it doesn't come with the MDS system.

I did have a 5.7, but drove it like a crazy man so my MDS never really kicked in on my ride. So I really don't notice that big of a dip in MPG....all things relative like how fast I'm going or WOT's that I throw out.

Im actually getting better MPG in my SRT than my AWD C, and the C had 5,000 miles on it when I traded it. Is that weird?

I've heard of others with the same story. Those four wheels like to burn fuel I guess.
