dakota to avenger swap - 5/2/2008 10:31:42 PM    SHoffman   Posts: 38 Joined: 3/8/2008 Status: offline 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. _____________________________ 2005 Club Cab 4.7L 4X4 Amsoil for crankcase right now, tranny/gears soon K&N 63 Series FIPK Autolite 3923's Flowmaster Post #: 1

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. _____________________________ Tiger-USA (in reply to SHoffman) Post #: 2
