They call it "e-Torque", and it boosts EPA ratings: The Hemi saves 1.7 oz. (50 ml) of fuel every 90 seconds during a shutdown, Ram 1500 chief engineer Mike Raymond says.

I wonder if liquid cooling explains why the city MPG benefit is greater for the V6 version. Maybe they can run the electric motor/generator at a higher load/more frequently. Full article: https://www.wardsauto.com/test-drive...pain-ram-gains |
I'm honestly impressed they only burn 0.53 gpm in a Hemi at idle. My prius burns more than that when cold (0.70 gpm) and still burns 0.25 gpm when warm and the engine is idling. Whoa...
1.8L vs 5.7L |

But anyway, I'd like to see what it could do to the EcoDiesel V6. |

Twice the cylinders and marginally larger cylinders, but half the RPM, still twice the fuel consumption. |
