Dodge Viper Gas Mileage Challenge! City Driving vs. Highway Hypermiling!

25 Oct 2016

I wanted to see what kind of gas mileage my Dodge Viper gets — so I drove it around the city and hypermiled it on the highway to find out. Check out my column for the numbers, or watch the video above.

I get around 7-8 city in my srt10 … highway (16ish) it gets better than my hemi ram from the same year!

18.7 mpg highway… well, that’s a surprise. I’ve managed around 18-19 mpg highway in my V12 SL… and it’s MUCH heavier. :P

The Sh*t Viper Owners Say

if i had a dodge viper i would constantly be using all of the gears and all of the rev range. sitting still in traffic? revvity rev revv revvo. Motorway? slow down to 20mph in 1st and floor it. red line in each gear then get to 100 and slow down.

going downhill in neutral is not hypermiler’s dream. It’s against hypermileage idea

i hope you not get killed by BMW drivers beacuse you drive slow

I thought true hypermiling people accelerate up to speed or even above and then immediately shut the engine off and coast down to a very slow speed before repeating the aforementioned?
