RE: 96 gas mileage - 11/19/2006 7:33:56 PM    bar   Posts: 3 Joined: 11/19/2006 Status: offline My 96 with 318 was getting 17mpg till Dodge dhange my timing to what they said was correct--TDC--- My mileage dropped to 12mpg---I had them set it back to where they say it was (9 deg retarded), but my mileage is still 12 mpg. I believe it should have been advanced and not retarded, but since dealers are the only ones that can set it and they charge $$$ I am trying to get more opinions before I pay them again.

Considering the horsepower ratings for the 3.9 (125 for the LA) and (175-180) in the magnum this just stinks! (in reply to Dakota94Sport) Post #: 34
