my 94 3.9 4x4 ext cab with 5 speed manual gets 15 city and 17 highway
98 5.2 4x4 auto trans gets 14 city and 18 highway. I never got 20 mpg out of either one.. best mileage i ever got out of a truck was an 85 s10 pickup 2.5 4cylinder 4x2 5 speed longbed I consistently got over 33 pm on the highway

Agreed. My Durango has the 4.7. Never knew the plugs had such a short life. I was down to 14 hwy and after the plug change back to 18-19.
