Message:
I have a 2000 4x4 sport dakota, I used to get better fuel milage with my 95 ram I had before. any suggestions on increasing milage, i'm only getting 14-15 mpg. I swear if you nail the gas the gauge goes down noticably and doesn't come back up afterwards. I didn't expect huge milage from a 4x4 but man!

I was getting the same 14-15 MPG before I added an Extang Tonneau cover. Now I'm getting close to 17 MPG over the same routes & weather.

I think 4x4 is the difference, usually 2-3 mpg less than 2WD. I have mostly highway driving during week @ 70-80mph and I average 14-15 mpg with some mods, tonneau cover, 33's and lead foot:) My Dak stock was getting 17-18 mpg with tonneau till I started adding mods, then it was all downhill from there...

Just get bigger tires, lowers you rpm's so at highway speeds you get much better gas mileage, round town might get a little better too if you don't have a lead foot like mine:)
