On my voyage trip from Dallas, Tx to ABQ, NM my worst tank was 11.42mpg and my best was 16.98mpg. My SD has 88,000+ miles...and I am very happy with those numbers. I have to say, I did not run any faster than 70mph...

LOVE this stock V10!!!

alright guys
i could not go over 65.i had the cc on the whole time, it was down hill going. the mil was in the front right seat naging as always, and yes i did not have a tail wind. other then that one trip. "never again will i take her to atlantic city " my av is just over 11 city and near 14 highway some times just over 14 but not much.
now as to the mil, she almost was told to walk when she said we should have taking ilenes jeep liberty, it's closer to the ground. i make ac in 2 hours took me 4 that trip so theres the mpg's that trip not fast enough for this v10 monster
who said pedals? thats not a bad idea ! any good ones for a jewish mil?

Do you ralize that there are some people in this world that don't have a clue about gas mileage? My sil had a Durango with the Magnum. She was bragging about having a HEMI until I explained her error. She then traded it in for a HEMI, just to have one. She tows a jet ski! She pretty much drives WOT and goes through brakes every 15k. When you ask her about gas mileage you get that WTF look. The same look you get when you ask her what HEMI means. I have to hand it to Chrysler, they really knew how to market that one to the masses.

I just wished I had the lb with the 38 gal. tank.

I heard that someone in this forum is an expert on changing plugs on a V-10. Can anyone give me any advice on their experiences? (lol)
