Question 2005 3v V-10 gas milage guesses?

Any guesses what the 2005 three valve V-10 will get per gallon?

350 ponies and 455 torque...

If Ford really produces the 3v V10
I dont care what it gets for milage. I am so there
You know, in line to buy one.
I was getting tired of this one anyway
Ash trays full (coins)
Needs new tires (rear only)
windows are dirty


just trying to justify buying another new truck already.

If it could see 16mpg hwy I'd be very interested. Any improvement on 10mpg city would be welcome.

My guess would be that you won't see much of an improvement in milage. You need a certain amount of fuel to get the truck moving, and keep it moving, it doesn't really matter how much more power the new motor puts out.

Also, stop-and-go, people will probably burn MORE gas, because they can't keep their foot out of it

Unless Ford freed up a lot of friction in the new motor, it will probably average about the same as the 2v. And I doubt they did that, because there are more parts to suck more power through friction...

Unless they can run it leaner because of the VVT or something, I doubt you will see any difference. Except that it will use more when you punch it
