I just bought a new 2004 quad cab dakota 4x4 4.7 v8 magnum 5 speed automatic trany and I only have 700km's on it but I am getting aprox 350 km/ fill up aprox(80L).

Is it low because it is not broke in?
What kind of increase do you think I will get?

I have reat lots about 12mpg to 16 mpg and more but.

Any thoughts
Dwayne

Dwayne, I'm getting around the same mileage as you right now. It's the cooler temps this time of year that will kill your mpg. Being so new will factor in there a bit as well.
You won't see an improvement until it warms up. I usually get around 425kms city driving and 500-530 hwy driving in the summer.
