While some are hemi bashing take a look at the EPA comparison:
PT Turbo
19 City
25 Highway
21 combined
$1599 per year fuel cost @ $2.24/gallon (premium)- their default
$1921 per year fuel cost @ $2.69/gallon (premium)
Hemi 300C AWD
17 City
24 Highway
20 combined
$1545 per year fuel cost @ $2.06/gallon (regular)- their default
$1868 per year fuel cost @ $2.49/gallon (regular)

The hemi is bigger, faster and according to the EPA should be cheaper to buy fuel for on an annual basis. Not knocking my great little PT-GT but I have to admit that the fuel mileage isn't very good for the power it turns out. Incidentally, I doubt that the Hemi 300 C would actually get the EPA rated mpg because 17.1 mpg is the average on my PT-GT over the past 30,000 miles.
