something could be wrong with it...but don't forget the V10 isn't exactly a sipper either....it drinks unleaded like me and the college crew do beer....seeing as how its 488 CU of pure Mopar fury

and bigger tires will only make it worse

True, but still. its a v10 that was rolled, no way its in prestine condition. It should at least be seeing 10mpg

I almost bought a v10 when i was looking for a dodge, but i knew the gas mileage sucked. So i stuck with the 5.9.

For those who think the v10 will get as good mpg as a v8, I don't see how that is remotely possible. The more displacement the more fuel it takes to fire the cylinders.

Never said it should get as much milage as a v8, but its rated for 10mpg. It should get around that, not 5.
