I wonder why that would happen? Wouldn't the V10 from the viper get about the
same gas mileage as the viper, maybe even better? The reason i'm saying this
is that you would think that since the viper engine has better flow through
the engine it would get better gas mileage. I really not an expert just
wondering. Maybe some moron at chrysler gave the epa the truck to test and
the epa guy couldn't keep his foot aout of the throttle....hehe. Besides it's
not like the V10 that's in the ram gets great gas mileage anyway. We all keep
putting up posts about our mileage with the current engines imagine if you
had a V10.....yikes.
