Actually you would get worse mpg driving 25mph than if you were going 50-60mph. Just thought I'd be a smart arse and point that out. ;) BTW I just wanted to toss it out that all of your Kotas pale in comparison to my Almighty ST 3.7L Magnum which is the fastest Kota on the road, and best of all its totally stock!

3.7 >>>>>>> 4.7 ALL DAY LONG BABY! ALLL DAYYY LOOOOONG! OWWWW
Just kidding. BTW my gas light just came on this morning (which usually means an 18 gallon fillup if I hit the pump that day) at 372 miles. 20.7 MPG this round. Mostly highway crusing around 70MPH.

In response to the ram guy...
I am thinking he was trying to shift with the PRNDL and hit the rev limiter...
I pull hard after 30, but engine managment kills it till about then.

LoL I'm not on drugs!  I am a correctional officer I think I would probably lose my job if I was on drugs! Come on, my inferno red paint adds hp and makes my truck faster.

Sometimes I think the right pedal is just for noise; it doesn't always seem to make the truck go faster.
I'd like to drive a 4.7 with the stick shift to see how they compare; I'll bet up to 25 or 30 MPH the V6 could run with a 4.7 auto because of the gearing, but its probably lights out from then on.

It's not even the gearing, the cursed torque management limits us up to a certain point, not that I could make use of it with the stock POS rubber anyways...
Lghtngblt (can we call you something that's easier to type? lol ), don't forget about the VTEC stickers, those have to be good for 50hp or so... especially if it says "VTAK"

My 2006 Dodge Dakota club cab sucked the gas when I first got her. I was getting on avg about 14 - 16 mpg. Once she reached 30000 miles she jumped up to 18 mpg. I travel 21 miles one way to work. The secret is if you keep your foot out of it and do about 60 mph she will stand a deliver.

i enjoy the gas mileage i get out of the truck i fill up every two weeks. working the 12 hour 3 day get paid for 40 hrs really helps out. and on the off days we take taras focus for the beater runs. the best is when i go to work or go home there is no stop and go traffic. 3pm until 3 am. so it works out for both shifts

I just added bedstripes today immediate power difference must be +50hp, +50 torque, +10mpg. It's crazy, combined it with one of those performance chips off of ebay I now have 300hp, over 300 lb/ft torque and I am getting 30mpg!
