While, some don't consider the issue as much of a concern. With $3.50 per gallon and only going up.........makes one ponder if History could repeat itself? Remember, high fuel prices and insurance rates doom the original muscle cars of the late 60's and early 70's! As a matter of fact I figured Dodge would follow the suit with the 300, Charger, and Magnum........offering a 2.7L as the base model and then moving up to the 3.5L, 5.7L, and finally 6.1L.

I think the 2.7L is going to fade out when the 4.0 hits.
