ideas for better mpg..
Any ideas on getting better gas mileage out there?? On my 98 D 4x4 slt I have a custom exhast, K&N cold air intake and tornadoair insert. Im also changing my motor oil to full synthetic which would help the engine out. I also added Amsoil ATF in my tranmission for better heat/gear protection.

generally the rule of thumb is, if gas mileage is a concern you dont buy a durango...
the money invested in getting a 1/2 mpg here and there improvement it would take many, many years to recoup that in savings, spend the money in performance upgrades instead,
