Default I would like to Say THANKS for the HELP and 1 other question...

First off this forum is by far the best dodge one ive ever came across.. i wanted to say thanks to all the users whom make this a great place to visit.. and since its soo great i tell all my chrysler/dodge drivers i know to come here for their vechicles..as such i even told my local dodge dealer whom says they like to surf it to see what issues are going on.. ive known the guy for yrs.. hes a good guy.. ( servi. manager)


Lastly for this post... with ppl whom have the 4.7 V8 how many miles you getting to a tank >

ie i let my tank go to fumes today and i only got roughly 245 miles to the tank... to me that sounds super low.. or im just used to my old neon that ran forever..being laid off i never really watched my milelage but now im trying to sqeak out what i can... so tires stay inflated everything is done to manual spec...

What are you guys/gals getting for total mileage ?


Thanks once again !!

98 cc 4x4 5.2 v8 auto I was getting like 190-200 miles on a tank did a tune up and just this weekend I got 220 on a tank but thats not really true I had 80mi on a 1/8 of a tank but then the weekend came and it was 99% hard city driving along with off roading so my mpg went way down.

i do have a 2 wd Dak.. im running the 245-70-16s tires.. thats oem per door.. but when i bought vechicle from dealer it came with 255-65-16s..i got better gas mileage and heh it looked meatiers and seemed to handle better.. now that my Yokohama HTS's have worn down past the 50k mark.. im lookin to replace all 4 and go back to original tire size i bought from dealer .. ( as for bought from dealer info i got it with 2 miles on dak.. so i was only owner ) Hmm yeah 245 is not acceptable.. racking my brain on this one..

I know I can go 320, then the light comes one.

One full tank gets me to Seattle from where I live.
