dakota to avenger swap

hey guys. i currently own a 2005 dodge dakota, 22000 miles with the 4.7l v8. i work at a used car dealership, and we have an 08 avenger rt with 1790 miles on it. i am seriously considering trying to sell the truck for the avenger. my main question is what kind of gas mileage you guys are getting with the 3.5 v6. im averaging around 13-15mpg, so any better will probably help me a lot.

I am up to 37,500 miles on my '08 R/T V6. Just past my 1 yr anniversary
When local driving with a lot of traffic lights etc., I am generally in the 21-22 MPG range,
but when I am doing a lot of interstate highway driving, I get up to 26-27 MPG.
Of course, this depends on your driving style. If you are hard with the gas peddle you will get less.

I can get 34+ if I draft off an 18 wheeler, but I don't recommend that.

Within the first couple thousand miles I was only getting 15-18mpg, but as the engine broke in it got better, I have roughly 4000 now and am averaging 24-26mpg city/highway combined.  Plus once some mods start coming out you'll be able to up that mileage.  Don't be shocked though if you do get it since its under 2000 miles, it will probably have horrible mileage :)
