Yep, when you are having fun who is looking at the pennies anyway? When it gets too expensive to run the Rocket Touring (why do they they use the verb and not the noun Tourer?) the family sedan goes first and then her Vespa scooter second...#*!" the arabs anyway!

The Touring/Tourer names are both used;
See here:
Rocket III Tourer
The short-lived 2007 Tourer Limited Edition Model was just a Classic Model with the addition of a windshield, panniers (saddlebags), backrest and luggage rack from the factory - and a choice of two-tone paint schemes
Rocket III Touring
The 2008 Touring version has more torque at lower revs – 209 Nm @ 2,025 rpm - but less horsepower at the top end. The five spoke design used on the Rocket III were switched out for billet aluminum slotted wheels and narrower tyres were specified to improve steering with a 180/70 x 16 rear tyre that makes it easier to fit large, detachable panniers that come as standard, together with a removable windscreen and Kayaba rear shocks for a softer cruising set-up. In 2008 the colour schemes were Jet Black and the two-tone options of Eclipse Blue/Azure Blue, Jet Black/New England White and Jet Black with Sunset Red.
From the Wiki site for the Rocket:

All the gas around here is the 10% ethanol blend, I have TORs without a catbox, and a big Clearview windshield my MPG is 32.8735, plus or minus .8735.
Does anyone know if the ~7% speedometer error include the odometer?
The odometer is correct at the factory 7% speedometer discrepancy, if you correct the speedo with Tune-boy the Odo is then wrong.
And TxRIIIRider, I know you didn't really wonder what kind of mileage that a 70's Hemi Challenger got, but I actually knew something and just wanted to share.
BTW, of all the Mopars that I've owned the Hemi Cuda was not exactly my favorite, that honor belongs to my 340/4-speed 1969 Dodge Dart. The Cuda handled like an under-inflated beach ball where as the Dart was well balanced and would corner like nobodies business. And with the 340 it definitely was no slouch off the line. The Cuda was far from being a show car, the only thing that held the rust together was rust and wel there was the rust. The only thing going for it was the factory Hemi and the fact that a build sheet had survived under the rear seat.
