It reads like it is, i've had this truck since new and time and again like when i brought it for it usual shedualed maintenance i would take a full size rental for the day while my truck got serviced. Well inevitably i ended up with the dodge full size truck with the V8 Hemi engine one fine day and it happened that i had to spend the day running around the city doing errands and that hemi guzzled approx.,$125.00 in fuel by the time my day ended. You do the math and come to your own conclusion.
