Welcome to the world of real TRUCKS that required the great thirst for the
unreal OPEC oil.

Subject: DML: AWEFUL GAS MILEAGE with 4.7!!!!!
Well... I have now had my new Dakota 4x4 regular cab for over 2 weeks and I
must say... the gas mileage SUCKS!!!! It now has 400+ miles on it and the
best I can get is 12 mpg average. Most of my driving is in town with a
little bit of highway driving on the weekend. I can't beleive I am getting
this bad of gas mileage. Hopefully this is just because its probably not
broken in yet... but still... I should get better. Any of you others with
4.7 v8s get this kind of gas mileage when you first got your dakota? Is
this abnormally bad? Or is this what I should expect? Thanks.
