Default V10 Rams

What kind of gas mileage do they get? (I know, probably a very stupid q). There's a clean one just down the road from me for 3k with 110k miles on it.

I get 14mpg highway unloaded when driving mine like a normal person (ie normal acceleration, around the speed limit, no burn-outs). That's with the mopar performance PCM running on premium fuel ONLY from Shell stations. I'm hoping to see that number go up in the future with the addition of a Fastman TB, K&N FIPK, and new tires.

I am averaging between 10-12 50/50 city / Highway.

doing this by filling up the tank and resetting the trip meter, the on board comp tells me 9-10 but the math tells me 10-12 have tried this several times and get those results. though only tried that when gas was cheaper, filling up now 36 gallons is painful

Only mod K&N Drop in Filter.

You were incorrectly informed The magnum 318 and 360 have the same compression ratio (9.1:1). The older LA engines had different ratios...with the 360 having a HIGHER ratio...9.1:1 compared to 8.5:1 for the 318.

And yes, the 318 is THAT bad when compared to a V10. [8D] The 318 has good low-end, but chokes on the top-end. The V10...even with it's HORRIBLE intake manifolds...has a very flat (and high) "curve" for both horsepower and torque And it only gets better with mods [8D]
