Realistic gas mileage
hey guys....got a '98 dodge ram with a 5.9L V8, and with the cost of gas lately, i'm considering something a little smaller. Basically, I just wanna know what you all are getting for gas mileage realistically on a 6 Cylinder Dodge Dakota btw. '97 and '02......the write-ups say 16-22mpg, but i wanna here what some people are ACTUALLY getting. Thanks in advance.

my 2001 v6 gets about 15 in the city, 18 city highway mixed, and 24 strictly highway, thats if i drive conservatively. if i drive aggressively take about 2 mpg off each one of those numbers. if you want gas mileage, a dak will be a slight improvement over a ram.

^ same pretty much for me with my v6, keep the weight down to and invest in a tonneau cover as well
