Looking at buying a 1988 RC 4x4...GAS MILAGE????????? - 3/20/2008 6:55:56 PM    92KotaRT4x4 Posts: 33 Joined: 10/31/2007 Status: offline I'm looking at buying a 1988 Dodge Ramcharger 318 V8 Throttle Body 3spd Auto, 33x12.50 tires, stock suspension from what I can tell. It has 135k on it and needs paint badly also needs a passenger fender. He is asking $1500. So I am selling my Dakota with the hopes that I can buy the RC and have some extra cash laying around for improvements.  But the biggest thing I'm worried about is the Gas Milage as I am 18 and driving around 14 miles a day to school and work and back. My Dad had an 89 on 31x10.50 but cant remember for sure what he got mpg wise. I was hoping if someone could tell me what they get with theirs, better yet if you have a similar setup as this one has.
