Reintroduced with great fanfare as a 2005 model (and overdue for a refresh), the venerable Chrysler 300 continues to roll in style as the marquee’s flagship. Available with a range of engines and in both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive, the domestically-available Chrysler 300′s best gas mileage results come with the 2.7-liter V6 engine producing highway ratings in the mid-twenties in rear-wheel-drive form. On the flip side of the coin, the thirsty Hemi-powered 300/SRT-8′s gas mileage earns it an official status of gas guzzler (complete with federal tax).A highly fuel-efficient version of the 300 is available in Europe, equipped with a Mercedes-Benz 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 engine.
