Tampa Police Department to sport new Dodge Charger patrol cars and cruisers

Tampa's graphics look good on all 3 cars, imho. But they've got their lightbars on backwards with blue on the driver's side, if you ask me.

"According to fueleconomy.gov, a Crown Vic gets 16 mpg in the city and 24 on the highway. A Dodge Charger gets 19 mpg in the city and 31 on the highway."


Thats because the crown vic is a V8 and this particular charger is a V6. If they went with the V8 charger it would be 16 city, 25 hwy. I do love the charger though either way...it looks mean!

The original article says the Charger costs $22,000. Typo? My last cruiser stickered for that. It was a 2000 Crown Vic.

EPA estimates are almost never "real life" mileage.

I LOVE that new charger with Tampa PD's scheme.

Tampa has always been like that. Blue on drivers side, red on passengers side.

yeah but look at it this way. The V6 Charger outperforms the V8 Crown Vic, acceleration, braking, top speed, just about everything.
