7 MPG Highway!
Hi everyone,
I'm new to the exciting world of Dodge Dakotas as I've had my 2000 4.7L V8 for not even a year. I love the truck, but the mileage is killing me. I drive like a grandma but I still get between 7 and 9 mpg on a good day. Do any of you Dakota veterans have tips on what can be done to improve it? I just had the oil and filters changed. I've heard rumours a certain air filter can improve it, or a new oxygen sensor. I'm not sure of the validity of these rumours so if anyone has some advice I would be happy to hear it! Thanks in advance!

Something is definatley not right cause I get about 18mpg consistantley on highway with my 4.7l. I don't think a certain air filter will help you much if your getting that bad of gas mileage I would think the cat is clogged. Did you do the key turn trick or use a scanner to see if you get any codes?
