I'm just curious as to why the mileage is
unacceptable ?
I remember earlier trucks or anything with a v/8.
If you got 12 mpg, you were getting good mileage.
That's also about the mileage I get with my pickup
truck with a 318. I thought 17 was pretty good considering it's a truck and it's
4wd.
Are there other v/8 gasoline trucks that get more
than 17mpg highway ? If there are, I'd like to know who makes them.
Alot also has to depend on what set of gears are
inthe vehicle also. Trucks tend to have a lower gear for towin/hauling, which
decreases their mileage.

It’ll be interesting to see if the fuel
consumption for this new engine improves over the appetite of the current
line of truck V8s.
I looked at a Dakota sticker the other day and it was
15mpg city 17 highway. Totally unacceptable, imho.

Look for an all
new Hemi in the 2003 Dodge Rams!!! The new 5.7L Hemi has two spark plugs per
cylinder, develops 345 horsepower and puts out 365 pounds-feet of torque!
These engines are standard in the heavy duty Rams, and optional in the
others.
