Well guys. the dirty truth is. if you want mileage and speed, get a damn 95 Civic EX and spend the money modding it. If you want a badass fast truck... go with the R/T (which Is what I have) Im putting 93 Octane gas in my truck due to the PCM and get about 12 miles a gallon at most. (Just replaced air filter, old one was real real dirty, hopefully it will bring me up a mile or two an hour.) Thanks

'00 5.9 QC with a few non-dramatic mods with 11,985 miles in about 1-1/2 years: 8-10 mpg for the 1 mile back and forth to work, longer in-town about 12. Highway at speed limit 16-17, 14.5 at 75. Best 19.4.
Dan is spot-on-what we really have is a large frontal area truck with a coefficient of drag in the .43 range. Not conducive to good gas economy.
Dakotas do, though, look awfuly nice and run well,...D

completely stock 95 5.2L, auto, ext. cab, and it gets 20-21 on the freeway at 75MPH, about 16 going to and from work, 9.5 miles each way on streets with 40-45 speed limits. I read the forum about the 4.7 and wonder what was really gained with this new engine.

I get 10 in town and 12 on the highway back and forth to school.
I run it hard constantly, I top it out everytime i hit the highway, 200 miles to a tank. In town I weave in and out of traffic, run 80mph, get chaised by cops, race everything I see, try to catch-up with the only Viper in town, I've talked myself out of 3 reckless driving tickets in the last year, I also white-smoke it going across our town-square.
91 sport 318, commercial 4-speed automatic. With glass-packs, and 93 octane gas.

2000 4x4 QC w/5.9L
Living in Denver, my driving is almost a 50/50 mix of light-to-light & highway driving. I get high-13's to low-14's on average. On my road trips, I typically see mid-15's. My all time high was a 16.97.
Preformance mods: Fastman TB, Gibson swept-side cat-back
Non-performance mods: 31x10.50's with the stock 3.55's, ~250lbs. worth of brushgaurd & winch, ~200lbs of hard tonneau, and ~75lbs. of nerf bar

Haol3,
Nice webpage and rig!
I've e-m'd Fastman for information on the TB you've installed.
Can you tell me what improvement you've seen and how, if at all, it effected your gas mileage?
Thanks,...D

In reading through other responses, I had to laugh. My low is 8.45MPG!! But then, I have to say that this was while out off-roading around in Colorado's backcountry.
