What sort of MPG is he getting out of that?

Dunno about the 10 cylinder but the 14 cylinder version has stats as follows:

Total engine weight: 2300 tons (The crankshaft alone weighs 300 tons.)
Length: 89 feet
Height: 44 feet
Displacement: 24,480 Litres
Maximum power: 108,920 hp at 102 rpm
Maximum torque: 5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm

Fuel consumption is 8.5lbs of fuel per SECOND!

Here's what they look like fully built up


btw the engines are used in large container ships. Amazing what you find when your bored LOL

Used to do some work for H&W, the biggest (in dry dock size)shipyard in the UK. I was there for the test firing of a 300,000 BHP engine for an oil drilling research ship type thing. Always wondered what it would have made if they put a K&N induction kit on it
