I was just curious to see what other V10 owners are getting for miles per gallon i am getting about 6-7 mpg is that average or should it be a little higher like 10-11 mpg thanks
I get about 10mpg avg, with more city than highway.
Best mileage when towing my Indy on its 18' hauler to the dragstrip.
Dont screw around anywhere near as much as when its empty lol
MPG doesnt vary much
My motor has 40,000 miles on it. I'm running 3.55 gears with 33" tires and get about 12~13 on the highway doing 65-70 in OD. Around town is a little less but going easy on the gas pedal makes a big difference.

I have the same set up and I am runnin the same mileage. However I'm going to 4.10 gears for more towing power as that's what I do more with mine.
People that I know that have the 4.10 option over the 3.55 gearing get 9-12 regardless, and 3.55's get like 12-13 hwy and like 6 city....LOL
I had a 1999 back in 02 with 72xxx miles on it. It had 35/14.50x16.5 Swampers on it with 6" of lift and 3.55 gears. Motor was bone stock except for a K&N filter. I drove that thing like an idoit and still managed 13-15mpg. That beats both my 5.9s and my 5.2. Having the NV4500 helped some I'm sure.
