Milege on Dakota 4X4

Steve 14 April 2005 15:54:59
 I was wondering what some of you are getting for mileage
on the 4.7 V8 Dodge Dakota 4X4 standard cab.

With the gas prices now a days you try to get the best you
can out of it.

I am getting about 12 city and 15 highway.
Not what the tag says but i guess that's understandable.
They do the test under the best conditions.

Was thinking of a I&N filter set up for better breathing
and maybe a duel exhaust.
Any one with any thoughts?

I used to get around 14 highway and 18/19 city. Right now though, on
these roads (I'm in England) I think I'm probably getting about the same
as you. And gas here now costs (are you sitting down?) close to $6.50
per gallon! AARUGH! Only using the Dak for shorter journeys now; back
to the ol' 1991 Toyota (which gets close to 30mpg) for long trips.

Mine's a 2001 SLT, club cab, but same engine and 4x4.

I was starting to wonder if there was something wrong, but maybe it's
just the nature of the beast.

 Thanks for the input. Mine is also a SLT but just reg cab.
A friend gets 21 MPG in the city and he has a big motor Vette. Go figer.

Price is 2.07 a gallon here in Massachusetts USA. I will be using my Harley
more this summer.

You're quite lucky with your gas prices. Today in Southern Oregon it's at
$2.57/gallon regular.

Normally I'd be all sympathy, but I think my $6.50 /gal (UK) has you
trumped. That said, that's a huge amount for gas in the US! Yikes!

 My true (not the overhead computer) overall (60% city 40% highway) mileage
is 15.62 Y.T.D 02 clubcab, 4.7, 3.52 gears, auto. I have found that after I
switched to full synthetic oil in the front and rear axle, and engine an
overall increase of 0.71 mpg.
I drive around 15,000 miles a year and that means now I use 45.72 less
gallons of gas a year (45.72 x 2.15 = $ 98.30)
As for the price of synthetic, oil and filter cost $ 39.44 and I do it
myself every 7,000 miles. I Sent my oil to get tested about 6 months ago
according to the test I could go even longer between changes. Thinking about
doing just a filter at 6,000 and oil and filter 12,000.
I use Royal Purple 5W30 $5.49 a qt. and a Wix filter $6.50ea.
