Do you know what gears you have in it? That really makes a difference in gas mileage. I'm guessing stock tire size?

Here's another good thread
https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen-ram-tech/81451-v10-8-0l-mpg.html
It looks like it varies from 8-11 depending on engine condition and driving

I was getting 6 mpg around town with 3.55's and 35" tires. Now I get 12 mpg around town with 4.56 gears.

In a word? Bad. If you break into double digits around town, you are doing good. Don't expect much over 15 or so on the freeway, unloaded......

depending on tire size and gearing, you will probably average 10-12
