Chrysler has announced that its Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat has achieved an EPA rating of 22 mpg for highway driving.
The rating is not quite a surprise, matching the fuel economy of the Charger’s two-door cousin, the Challenger SRT Hellcat. Both must be outfitted with Chrysler’s eight-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission for the highest numbers.

The Charger fuel consumption is not as impressive in the city, where drivers can expect to get 13 mpg.
“The new 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is a multidimensional phenomenon. It is the quickest, fastest, most-powerful sedan ever produced – the world’s only four-door muscle car,” said Dodge and SRT brand chief Tim Kuniskis. “Factor in its affordable price and 22-mpg highway fuel-economy rating and it’s clear that the Charger SRT Hellcat competes in a class all by itself.”
The Hellcat-powered Charger boasts 707 horsepower, bringing an 11-second quarter-mile on street tires, a 0-100-0 mph run in less than 13 seconds and a top speed of 204 mph.
