Dodge Dart Gets “Aero” Package To Break 40 MPG

Looks like the Dodge Dart will apparently break 40 MPG adjusted in the end…but you'll need a special option package to do it, just like its chief domestic rivals, the Ford Focus and Chevrolet Cruze. We weren't invited to the launch of the Dart, but reports from the event state that the 1.4L MultiAir turbocharged engine with the dual clutch transmission will return 27 mpg city and 39 mpg highway. Dodge will release an "Aero" package that will help them return "at least 41 mpg". No word on what the 6-speed manual will return, or the 2.4L engine for that matter, but the base 2.0L "Tigershark" will get 25mpg/36mpg with the 6-speed manual. We'll have our impressions as soon as we get our hands on one. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
