Fiat/Chrysler will start using direct injection in thier gasoline engines starting in 2016 models so efficiency should increase slightly.
The dodge v6 (the Pentastar) in everything from minvans, to midsize cars, to Jeeps, and even the Ram is a direct injected motor, has been since it came out in 2011.
