V10 8.0L MPG
My 1999 V10 only has 30,800 original miles on it...will it get better than 9 hwy / 9 city / 9 towing / 9 unloaded / 9 loaded, after it breaks in? Oh, never mind. On the other hand, it will break the tires loose when I don't want it to. hee hee!

2001 Dodge 2500 Quad Cab 4x4 Auto 8L V10 MPG
Completely stock - I get around 10-12 miles per gallon; less if being silly. I would have preferred to get the 318 (5.2L) but I got a good price ($5600) at a federal government auction. No real problems except the transmission does not want to shift up from a stop and it's got so much torque I keep red lining it. Except for needing a new radiator and a frustrating water leak in the upper left of the cab (replacing the windshield helped but did not totally cure) it has cost me nothing to run except a lot of gas.

In the city I average about 6.5-7, and on the highway I get 9-10 if I'm lucky. My truck is bone stock.
Oops, I apologize about the necropost. Didn't notice that when I originally posted. I guess it's a good idea to keep the V10 information available though, because I'm having trouble finding some myself.

my 4x4 flat deck dually dumper gets 6.5 mt or loaded, usually overloaded with a good amount of city, pretty sure there's a conspiracy with the traffic lights.. but I can pass anything but the gas station and have never had a problem pulling anything I've hooked to!
