7. Extends the service life of the Dodge catalyst, lambda probe, spark plugs and Dodge fuel injectors.
Dodge ACTIVATOR reduces fuel consumption by 20%.
At the same time, the engine operation of Dodge is significantly improved.
Exampl of installation of Dodge.
ANY FUEL (petrol, diesel, gas), by going through 10 magnetic fields of THESE ACTIVATORS, for a short time changes its structure and properties, and it BURNS more fully and REGULARLY.
Due to this, the Dodge engine begins to work much BETTER.
Usually, it is already seen after 10-20 km of run of the car Dodge which has an installed Activator.
Imagine, how your Dodge engine works with VERY GOOD FUEL …
That is, we have quite different (better) fuel.
You agree that chopped firewood burns much better than whole logs … The same thing happens with automotive fuel in the cylinders of the Dodge engine.
Activators installed on Dodge reduce the density and viscosity of fuel:
1. This leads to the formation of smaller fuel particles, ensures good atomization and combustion in the cylinders of the Dodge engine.
2. The fuel ignites better and burns smoothly, ensuring soft and smokeless operation of the Dodge engine.
3. Reduces deposits on injectors and carbon deposits on candles and Dodge cylinders.
4. Reduces the load on the operation of Dodge fuel supply systems.
5. Increases reliability and increases the life of Dodge fuel equipment.
All this leads to improved conditions for fuel combustion in Dodge cylinders.
FUEL with Activators burns more completely in the Dodge engine, does not leave carbon deposits on pistons, cylinders and spark plugs.
On Dodge cars, the injectors are not polluted, and there is no black smoke even at throttling at free running.
Knowing where the fuel hoses are located, Activators at Dodge are installed within 5 minutes (see «INSTALLATION»)
ATTENTION! The main difference of THESE ACTIVATORS is that there are 20 magnets placed in them, which for a short time CHANGE THE STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF FUEL. In other similar Aktivators which can be used on Dodge, there are only 2 powerful magnets which are not able to change anything in the fuel (see «ANALOGUES» ).
When you don’t like the Aktivators, then with no doubt you can return them back within 37 days (read «RETURN»).
ACTIVATOR reduces the fuel consumption of any DODGE vehicle by 20%. Therefore, with the same amount of fuel on your Dodge, you will drive MORE KILOMETERS!
The operating life is at least 15 years

The fuel consumption of Dodge cars depends on the model, driving mode, and other factors.
Urban mode
Examples of fuel consumption in urban mode for some Dodge models:
Dodge Durango. Consumption can be 13-16.8 liters /100 km, depending on the modification.
Dodge Challenger. For example, the consumption for a model with an engine of 3.6 liters and a capacity of 305 hp is 10.2—11.2 liters/100 km.
Highway mode
Examples of fuel consumption on the highway for some Dodge models:
Dodge RAM. Consumption can be 8.1–10.2 liters /100 km, depending on the modification.
Dodge Charger. For example, the consumption for a model with an engine of 5.7 liters and a capacity of 370 hp is 10.2—13.1 liters/100 km.
Mixed mode
Examples of fuel consumption in mixed mode for some Dodge models:
Dodge Durango. Consumption can be 11.2–14.7 liters/100 km, depending on the modification.
Dodge Challenger. For example, the consumption for a model with an engine of 3.6 liters and a capacity of 309 hp is 10.2—11.2 liters/100 km.
The fuel consumption of Dodge cars depends on the engine and driving mode. Some models and consumption indicators for them:
Dodge Challenger. Fuel consumption is 7.8–25 liters/100 km, depending on the engine. For example, for the Hellcat 6.2 AT modification (717 hp), the consumption in the city is 18.1 liters, on the highway — 10.7 liters, in mixed mode — 14.7 liters.
Dodge Journey. Fuel consumption depends on the modification and the type of fuel used. For example, for a 2007 Dodge Journey with a 2.4 L (170 hp) engine, gasoline, automatic transmission, front—wheel drive, consumption is 9.6 liters/100 km. For modification 2.7 liters (185 hp), gasoline, automatic transmission, front—wheel drive — 10.3 liters/100 km.
Dodge Ram. For the base engine (V-shaped gasoline six with a volume of 3604 cubic centimeters), fuel consumption in urban driving with frequent acceleration and braking is 13.1 liters / 100 km, during a measured trip along a country highway — 9.4 liters / 100 km. For the top—of—the-line engine (gasoline atmospheric V8 with a volume of 5,654 cubic centimeters), fuel consumption in urban driving is 16.8 liters / 100 km, during a measured trip along a country highway — 11.8 liters / 100 km.
Dodge Fuel Consumption
Quick response
Dodge Chargers and Challengers pay special attention to power with V6 or V8 engines. V6 models can reach speeds of 20 to 25 miles per gallon combined, while V8 models typically reach speeds of 15 to 18 miles per gallon.
Detailed response
Dodge Chargers and Challengers are part of the American oilcar tradition, offering great engines and exciting rear-wheel drive. Although Moderna variants may offer higher efficiency than older oil cars, they are still focused on performance rather than fuel consumption. A charger powered by a V6 engine can reach speeds of 20 to 25 miles per gallon combined when driving smoothly, while Challengers powered by a Hemi V8 engine can reach speeds of 15 to 18 miles per gallon combined, sometimes less when driving aggressively.
The choice of engine is an important factor. The 6-liter Pentastar V3.6 delivers decent power and better fuel consumption, especially if you use the car for your daily commute and control your speed. If you choose the 6.4-liter or 8-liter Hemi V5.7, the consumption will increase dramatically. This compromise results in the rumbling exhaust sound and engine torque that fans of powerful cars love so much, but the fuel gauge will drop faster.
Driving habits have a huge impact. Sudden starts at traffic lights, burning gasoline, and sprints at high speeds increase fuel consumption. On the other hand, if you drive on the freeway at a moderate speed using the car’s high upshifts, you can achieve decent mileage per gallon for a muscle car. Some owners have noted that they can go up to 20 miles per gallon on long trips on the freeway on solid footing, even on a V8. Urban traffic tends to be less gentle, and it reduces these numbers to about ten or even single digits if you constantly step on the gas.
Technical means such as cylinder shut-off on some V8 models can shut off half of the cylinders under low load conditions, which increases fuel economy. However, as soon as the pedal is pressed harder, all cylinders return to working condition. Transmissions also play a role: the 8-speed automatic transmission on the new Chargers and Challengers shifts efficiently if you let it. The manuals are very popular with enthusiasts, but they may have slightly less predictable performance in miles per gallon depending on your switching style.
Maintenance is crucial, as it is in any performance-oriented vehicle. New spark plugs, clean air filters and the appropriate oil viscosity help the engine run smoothly and efficiently. Proper tire inflation is also important because oil cars usually come with high-performance wide tires that can increase rolling resistance. If you upgrade to more tenacious or larger tires for race days, you’ll likely sacrifice a little more mileage per gallon.
Weight is also a factor to consider. These are not light-as-a-feather cars. They are solidly constructed, with large frames and sometimes luxurious interiors, especially in Charger sedans. Additional features or specialized models, such as the Hellcat range, provide maximum power, but also consume fuel at an alarming rate. If you choose the high-power option, be prepared to refuel frequently.
However, many owners buy Charger or Challenger not only because of their efficiency. The driving experience-the roar of a V8 engine, the ability to burn tires, and cool retro styling-often justifies the extra fuel costs. On the road, this classic American driving experience can overshadow a few more stops at gas stations. However, you can improve your personal fuel consumption by avoiding forward-moving tendencies when you’re just strolling around the city.
For those looking for a muscle car style with a little more performance, the V6 versions represent a compromise. They’re lighter on the nose, can still move decently, and deliver fuel consumption of about 20 mpg if you’re careful. Meanwhile, the V8-powered versions provide such an experience with oil cars due to the need to refuel with plenty of fuel. If you travel a lot around the city or have a long commute, the difference may be noticeable in your wallet.
Please note that many V8 engines recommend or require premium fuel, which increases the cost. The V6 engine can run normally on regular fuel, but always check the manufacturer’s specifications. Regular oil changes, especially synthetic ones, are important for engine durability, given the high load these engines can face. Controlling your driving style can also reduce wear and tear — permanent burns can be fun, but you have to pay for them with your tire and fuel bills.
Ultimately, Chargers and Challengers remain icons for enthusiasts who enjoy combining the charm of old Moderna engines with modern safety features and technology. Your fuel consumption is part of the package. If you understand the throttle well, hold the car well, and accept that it’s not a hybrid, you can enjoy the smile of a great engine without feeling too guilty when you drive to the gas station. The real reward lies in the smile you get when the roar of the V8 engine echoes through the streets of the city or along the open highways.
It is worth noting that Dodge has also experimented with soft hybrid systems (eTorque) on some pickups, but so far this has not entered the scope of the Charger/Challenger. So for now, fans of high-powered cars are mostly relying on efficient gearboxes and cylinder shutdowns to get a few extra miles per gallon. As with any other high-performance car, you control most of the end result with your right foot, so choosing moderation can help you save your wallet and rear tires for a few more days.
Here is a detailed overview of the Dodge brand: the main models, their pros and cons, typical problems and fuel consumption.
Review of Dodge models
In recent years, the Dodge line has narrowed significantly — the brand focuses mainly on muscle cars and high-performance SUVs.
Here are the key models that are most relevant right now.:
Dodge Challenger
The iconic retro-style muscle car is a two—door coupe. There are versions with V6 and powerful V8, including the «hellcat».
Dodge Charger
It’s a four—door sedan, but it’s a muscle car in spirit. Like the Challenger, there are different engines, from the V6 to the supercharged V8.
Dodge Durango
Large SUV-crossover, can accommodate up to 7 people. There are versions with V6 and V8.
Dodge Hornet
The newer compact crossover (according to some sources) is part of the brand’s electrification.
Typical problems / reliability
That’s what owners often mention in reviews as weaknesses in modern (and not so good) Dodge:
Pentastar (V6) engines sometimes have problems with the roller system and cam shoes.
For V8 HEMI: the need for strict maintenance — frequent oil changes, good quality of service.
Some owners of a Charger / Challenger with high mileage have problems with the oil cooler, leaks, wear on the «lifters» and rockers.
Durango may have serious mechanical or electronic problems.
Hornet (especially hybrid/PHEV versions) has complaints about «electrical» problems.
Opinions and recommendations
If power and drive are important to you, then Dodge is a great choice, especially the Challenger or Charger with V8.
But be prepared for high fuel consumption, especially on the V8.
When buying a used car, it is very important to check the condition of the engine (oil, lifters, service history).
Good service and regular maintenance is the key to reliability, especially for high—performance engines.
If cost-effectiveness is important to you, you can consider basic versions with V6.
Here is the estimated fuel consumption (in liters/100 km) for popular Dodge models, based on available data. Keep in mind that consumption depends heavily on the year, engine, transmission and version, so these are ranges and examples.
Approximate fuel consumption of popular Dodge models
Charger ~ 5,9 – 32,2 l/100 km depending on the version.
Example: 3.6 L (rear—wheel drive) — 10 10.2 l/100 km; 6.2 L (high-power versions) — ≈ 14.7 l/100 km.
Challenger ~ 7,8 – 31,2 l/100 km.
For example, the 3.6 L version is about 10.2 l/100 km (mixed), the powerful V8 (6.4 L) is up to ~16.8 l/100 km in the city.
Durango, for example, 3.6 L V6 — city ~12.4 l/100 km, highway ~8.3 l/100 km (according to Canadian data).
Early versions: 5.7 L — ~14.7 l/100 km.
Journey From ~6.5 to ~13.1 liters/100 km, depending on the engine and version.
Example: SE version — mixed ~9.4 l/100 km.
Grand Caravan (minivan) ≈ 13.7 liters/100 km in the city, ≈ 9.4 liters/100 km on the highway (according to Canadian data for the V6 version).
Ram 1500 (pickup) Depends on engine:
— 3.6 L (petrol): ~12.4 L/100 km (mixed)
— Ecodiesel 3.0 L diesel: city ~10.7, highway ~7.4 L/100 km.
— V8 HEMI (according to data): ~15-17 l/100 km on average (depends on the version).
Viper (sports car) Very wide range: ~14.7 – 21.2 liters/100 km (depending on generation and version).
For example, the Viper V version (640 hp) is mixed ~15.7, city ~19.6, highway ~11.2 liters/100 km.
Fuel type for popular Dodge models
Dodge Charger In most models is unleaded gasoline with an octane of 87. High-performance versions (e.g. SRT) may require a higher octane (e.g. 91).
Dodge Challenger • Basic versions: regular gasoline 87-octane.
Models with powerful engines (for example, V8, Hellcat): premium gasoline with an octane rating of 91 and above.
It is not recommended to use fuel with more than ~10% ethanol (E-10).
Dodge Durango — 3.6 L V6: gasoline 87-octane.
— 5.7 L HEMI V8: gasoline 87-89 octane, 89 recommended.
— Powerful versions (6.4L or 6.2L supercharged): Premium 91-octane.
Ram 1500 (formerly Dodge Ram) — For many engines (3.6 L, 5.7 L HEMI): minimum 87 octane, but 89 recommended.
— For diesel version (EcoDiesel): Diesel fuel (ULSD #2).
— In newer versions (e.g. turbocharged 3.0 L): Premium is required (e.g. 91-octane) depending on configuration.
Dodge Viper Requires high-quality premium gasoline with an octane rating of 91 or higher.
Common disadvantages of Dodge (relevant for most models)
1. Increased fuel consumption
It is typical for large Pentastar 3.6, HEMI 5.7/6.4 engines and heavy bodies.
Even 3.6 V6 often gives 13-15 l/100 km in the city.
2. Demanding maintenance of boxes
The Charger/Challenger/Durango ZF and 8HP automatic transmissions are good, but sensitive to:
late oil change,
overheating,
slipping on the cold.
The 62TE automatic transmission (Grand Caravan/Journey) is one of the weak points: it gets tired quickly, often after 150-200 thousand km.
3. Typical electrical problems
Especially on:
Journey
Grand Caravan
Durango until 2017
Common:
instrument panel
failures, rear parking sensors failure,
problems with ABS modules,
connectors that are sensitive to moisture.
4. Suspension — strong, but short-lived on bad roads
Encountered:
rapid wear of silent blocks,
stabilizer bars,
steering tips.
The RAM 1500 has frequent wear of the ball bearings over long runs.
5. Moody ignition coils and spark plugs
Pentastar 3.6 engines are sensitive to spark plugs and coils; ignition failures are a common story.
6. Problems with the cooling system
Typical:
leaking water pumps on 3.6 V6,
radiator problems on Durango/Charger,
weak thermostats.
7. The risk of stretching the timing chain (rarely, but it happens)
In 3.6 Pentastar of the first years (2011-2013).
In fresher ones, it is almost not found, but with poor oil, the risk increases.
Disadvantages for specific models
Dodge Durango
The main problems:
rapid wear of the front brakes (heavy vehicle),
leaks of the power steering fluid,
problems with the AWD distributor,
overheating of the automatic transmission during towing.

Dodge Journey
Perhaps the most problematic Dodge model:
a weak 62TE gearbox,
frequent electrical problems,
heat exchanger leaks,
and rapid suspension wear.
Dodge Grand Caravan
Repeats of Journey+ issues:
chronic problems of the 62TE automatic transmission,
failures of the electrical equipment of the doors,
rapid wear of the front brakes,
weak noise insulation.
RAM 1500
Disadvantages:
sensitive suspension (especially pneumatic),
catalytic converters degrade by 5.7 HEMI,

An overview of the most typical engine failures of popular Dodge models (Charger, Challenger, Durango, Ram, Journey, Caravan, etc.) in the main engine lines: Pentastar, HEMI, Tigershark and old Mitsubishi/Chrysler units.
1. 3.6 Pentastar (V6)
The most popular Dodge engine (Charger, Durango, Ram 1500, Journey, Caravan).
Typical problems
1) Cylinder head (cylinder head) — wear of the 2nd cylinder
typical for early generations (2011-2014);
symptoms: tripling, errors P0302, loss of compression.
2) Noise /stretching of the timing chain
is more common after 180-220 thousand. km;
due to the weak tensioner and oil pressure during cold start.
3) Oil heat exchanger/filter problems The
plastic body of the heat exchanger may crack;
it leads to mixing of oil and antifreeze, leaks.
4) Increased oil consumption
, fuel and air deposits in the rings during short trips.
5) Coking the intake on EGR versions
gradually worsens idle operation and can increase fuel consumption.
HEMI 5.7 / 6.4 (V8)
They are powered by Dodge Charger/Challenger/Durango and Ram.
Major malfunctions
1) MDS (Cylinder shut-off system) → camshaft cam wear
The most famous problem is HEMI.
typical for 5.7 HEMI (especially 2011-2019);
Symptoms: knocking, misfiring, metallic noise, power drops.
2) HEMI Tick — «Hemi Tick»
is a light metallic clatter of nozzles or valves;
it does not always indicate a malfunction, but sometimes it indicates the wear of the pushrods.
3) Burnt exhaust manifolds
the collector bolts break;
a ticking sound appears on the cold one.
4) Increased oil consumption
more often after 150-180 thousand. km;
sometimes because of PCV or rings.
5) Problems with camshaft/crankshaft sensors
, periodic errors, stalls at idle.
3. 2.4 Tigershark (ED3) — Dodge Journey / Dart
Typical problems
1) Very high oil consumption
It reaches 1 liter per 800-1500 km.
The reason is the design of the pistons and rings.
2) Uneven operation/vibration
Due to weak engine mounts and uneven cylinder filling.
3) Oil leaks from under the cylinder head cover
A common sealing defect.
4) Possible timing problems
More often on runs of 170-220 thousand km.
4. Old atmospheric 2.7 / 3.5 / 4.0 V6 (Chrysler Group)
The most common problems
1) 2.7 — oil starvation and sludge in the engine
The most problematic engine.
Low oil circulation → rapid wear.
2) 3.5 / 4.0 — antifreeze leaks due to water pump
The pump is driven by a chain and flows inside the motor.
3) The crackling of the timing chain at low oil pressure.
5. 5.9 Magnum / 4.7 PowerTech (old Durango/Ram)
Magnum 5.9
Oil consumption;
intake manifold gasket leaks;
incorrect mixture → detonation.
4.7 PowerTech
overheating, sensitive to antifreeze quality;
destruction of timing chain guides;
oil starvation due to untimely oil change.
6. 2.0/2.4 World Engine (old Caliber, Avenger)
Common
vibration problems at idle;
weak engine supports;
oil leaks;
rapid wear of the timing chain;
noise from phase regulators.
