I just acquired a '98 regular cab w/V6 auto. I'd like to know what kind of highway gas mileage some of you are getting so I'll know if I want to use this as a daily driver. THANKS!!!

 

best i've gotten is 20.5 highway

normally get about 16 or 17 city and i like to gas the little thing a good big

 

generally it sucks... best ive gotten was 24-25 mpg, but that during a long haul loaded up about 100 pounds, including me. i have a new map sensor on order, so il let you know eventually what i get then. gotta take into account though the modifications i have done to my dakota. average is between 15-18 mpg

 

i got an 02 4X4 and it gets 15mpg at the most but i am always flooring it to get into traffic

 

98 RC 3.9 auto 2wd 8' bed completely stock 104K
I'm getting right at 20 with about 85% of miles on the highway.

 

honestly at the end of the day the V6 mileage just about equals the V8 mileage.

 

Hey, all!

Thanks to all who replied. It helped me out a BUNCH! I think I'll just keep on usin' my PT Cruiser 'cause it gets 28+mpg. Again, Thanks!

 

but its ugly

haha, i'd like better mileage to

 

actually my 4.7 gets BETTER than my 3.9 did, and by a good bit too.

 

but still not 28 mpg... i don't mind the ****ty mileage, especially since gas is so much cheaper than it was last summer
