Don Sherman wrote a very fun to read article about the Hellcat in 2015:
There’s even an eco mode complete with a green-leaf graphic. This is for comic relief.

at full throttle, a Hellcat burns 1.5 gallons of high octane a minute
the Hellcat’s 275/40ZR-20 tires futilely attempt to put down more than 8000 pound-feet of torque (650 pound-feet at 4800 rpm from the engine multiplied by 12.34 through the driveline in first gear)
What sounds like shredding titanium is the engine protesting the momentary power reductions accompanying each upshift. What feels like teleportation flings you to 60 in 3.4 seconds and to 128 mph in the quarter-mile. From rest to 170, the hairy Hemi posts an average 0.34 g of acceleration. Pleasure receptors think they’ve been treated to great sex, a tasty sirloin, and Dutch chocolate ice cream—all at once.
