hello guys, i was just wondering about the gas mileage on a dakota should be normally...
when i first got my truck i never noticed it being bad, but one day just all of a sudden i realized i was being robbed of my money.. have any of you guys had this problem? if so, help please!

 

well its not going to stay good if you dont keep it up, how many miles do you have on the truck? When was the last time you did a full tune up? Have you replaced the O2 Sensors? Do you have a lead foot? V6 or V8?

 

gonna need some more info. make and model, all mods, recent repairs, how many miles, engine size, drive train(4x4 or 2wd), etc... I have a 99 v6 with 120,000 on it. its a 5sp and the best i have ever gotten was just under 18mpg. now i average about 15.5 on the highway. I have a 3 suspension lift with 31X10.5 tires. the torsion bars are cranked so its about 5 inches up(effects aerodynamics, as does my huge grille guard) no cover on the back. I am gonna try a new 02 sensor or two when i get that chance in a couple weeks. that might add another mile or two. lots of things can effect mileage.

oh and its a 4x4

 

i avg about 13-14mpg. Stock i thnik it gets about 16city 20 highway.

but my highway is about 14.. good enough for me, when i hit the single digit mpg, lower 10mpg, then ill be scared.

 

Do some searches for gas mileage...

But my 3.9L gets 20mpg on the highway and around 18mpg mixed. Lately I've getting 15ish on the highway with a bunk O2.

 

my 99 gets 20-21mpg

 

my '00 QC 4.7 4x4 averages 15.5 mix... this past weekend I changed the oil (mobil 1 full syn. 10w-30) and also ran a can of seafoam through the tank.. went for a 420mile round trip and averaged 20.3mpg @ 80mph highway.. normal highway driving before this was around 18.

 

i get about 16.5 around town w/ my truck 3.9 w/ almost 200,000 miles on it

 

Will a K & N FIPK do any good?
