I'm sure everyone has seen the ad at the top of the page for Mileage Max by Edge Products. Does anyone have it? Does it work? Is the increased MPG, if any, worth the money? I average 100 miles a day (I have 92000 miles in less than 3 yrs)and with gas prices I'm looking for anything that might give me better fuel economy. I have a 05' V8 Quad Cab 4x4 and get 13.5 MPG on average. If anyone has any suggestions to get better MPG that doesn't cost too much, please let me know. My only Mod is a K&N Cold Air Intake. Thanx

Just like a Jet chip, as a performance/mileage enhancer, this makes a great paperweight. Don't waste your money. Also from what I see not available for Dakota anyway.

LOL, the jet is a paperweight?

My G-tech pulled almost 20hp off a stage 1...

For better mileage... search man. There have been a hundred posts on this exact thing.

More power in theory will increase mileage, since the motor doesnt have to work as hard as "normal"...


Keep in mind, that if you use the right pedal more, it doesnt help the MPG...

I too share the pain of 13.5ish mpg sucks! I drive it easy too. I came to the conclusion it's the 3:92 gears I drove another Dakota with a 3:55 I beleive and the rpms @ 60 mph were 800- 900 less on the 3:55 gears.

But the 3:92 is much more lively to drive around town! And tow too. Buy a moped! lol

I have the 3:92s, my mileage avgs 18-22 depending on where I am at. It surely is lively though

Also if you always jam on the left one for everything, instead of anticipating a stop, ithurts too.

It does seem strange that there is such a wide range of mpg's. I've always gotten 17-21 mpg. My last tank with all city driving got 17.6, my last trip got 21.25. I've got a 4.7l auto 2005, Jet Stage 1with 3.55. I'm going to change to 3.92 to make pulling a 6,000 lb toy hauler easier. I bet my mpg will be awful while towing that trailer. I have to think the variable is the right foot.
With the crappy resale on Dodge trucks, I'll be keeping this one for a while.

I would love to know how some can get as much as 22 MPG!! I have never done better than 15 MPG. Most of my 92000 miles is Highway. I'm not heavy on the gas or brake... Hell I changed my pads for the first time at about 85000 miles (cant say that for the crappy OE rotors). Icruise the highwaysat a consistent 65 - 70 MPH on average. I know if I slow down to 55 - 60 I could do better but no one drives that slow anymore and even if I do, I cant do better than 15 MPG.And I dont have to do 0 to 60 as fast as I canwhen the light turns green. I have even triedchanging brands of Gas and the type and brandof Oil... All I found outdoing that is Sunoco Gasis worse.. I get 12 MPG with Sunoco Gas... dont know why. And I never use my AC.. Last time I did I got11 MPG... This is sad for a truck this size.. My fathers 05'F-250 gets 11.5 MPG and thats with ladder racks and a full tool box adding weight.

I dont know what to tell ya. maybe it is just an anomaly that the few of us that get this good of mileage do get it... I dont know.
