 Subject: 2002 Dakota CC, 4.7, 4x2 MPG report.

Figured with gas being so high, I could share my setup and the MPG I have been getting.
2002 Dodge Dakota Club Cab
3.55 Gears
4.7 V8 - 2 Wheel Drive
K&N FIPK 2 kit with filter.
Fastman Throttle Body
Gibson Split Rear Exhaust (Cat Back)
Mobile 1 Synthetic
22 Gallon Tank, Bed Cap, not cover.
87 Oct Gas.
Over the last few months under conservative driving I have obtained on a regular basis -
18.2 - 18.7 MPG City
21.3 to 22.1 MPG Highway
Important note, My mileage was 2 to 3 MPG lower with a Stage 1 Jet Chip. Even with Mid-grade and premium I was never been able to come close to the MPG I have achieved without it.
Please feel free to share your setup and MPG as well. I'd be interested in how to improve this.

2000 Dak SLT CC 4.7L 4wd
All Stock except for Flowmaster muffler
3.55 gears
I get roughly 19-21mpg on flat highway running 70mph. I think the biggest thing that is helping my mileage is switching over to all-synthetic fluids.

Mine is a 2002 SLT, V6 with a Fastman, K&N drop-in, Amsoil, 3.55 automatic. Be HAPPY with your mileage, Sleepy - you're getting better mileage with your V8 than I am with the 6! City driving with mine runs 16-17 (and sometimes worse), and highway is usually in the 21 range. Everybody that I know that has Dakota 6's wishes that they'd gone the V8 route.

Ironically I too had a V6 Dakota, a 1997 4x4. And that slow poke sucked gas like a 572 crate. So with my 2002, I couldn't go the 5.2 route, but settled for the 4.7, and although it aint no RT, I'm still very happy with it.
