You should have got a 4.7 Dakota you could have used the money you would have saved on the r/t for gas.......

I am curious why would you buy an R/T if you are concerned about gas prices?
I'm sure you were well aware of what the expected mpg would be before you bought it. Guess you should have bought the 3.9!
Be glad you are not in Canada where a gallon is now over $4.00 Canadian per gallon.

Screw gas prices!! Life is short, enjoy it!! Sell the truck if it bothers you that much......this is not an economy truck. Like Curious said.....we're almost $4 a gallon here in Canada and I run premium for my B&G flash. I refuse to let this gas price scam(yes, it's a scam) change my lifestyle

canadian dollar to the US dollar 1.60 to one.One US gallon of gas is smaller then an imp gallon that we get here in canada so folks it all work out to be the same.What it all comes down to is F&*+% taxes on it. (I AM CANADIAN)

You are definitely lucky guys. I often have to drive to Germany.
There the current price for 1L fuel is EURO 1.12! That is about $1.20 * 3.79L equals $4.55 per gallon!!!
Here in Switzerland it is about $1 less but anyway too expensive.
nice day

yeah, the gas prices are going down now! where i live, in Indiana, they r lowering. now they r around 1.50$ per gallon. thats pretty cheap. i'll just have to run my R/T easy until gas prices go down to $1.30.
oh yeah, one more thing, WHY WONT FRANCE SUPPORT THE U.S.(MY COUNTRY)? ISRAEL SUPPORTS US!!

Matt, you should put some skinny 14" tires on the truck (185/70-14) and you'll get some gas mileage back (~4-8mpg)
Of course you'd look like a dork with no taste, but what the hell...your saving $$$ on gas. ;)
