Ok,i have the 2000 Dakota Quad Cab
My gauge is accurate beyond belief..
Full is Full
3/4 = 18 gallons
1/2 = 12 gallons
1/4 = 6 gallons

on empty(right on empty)= 3 gallons

I questioned the capacity of mine...till i put in 22.9 gallons one night..

Plus,if i drive 60-65,cruise on,and my tonneau cover on,mileage is between
22.7-23.2

Ok,who gets better mileage than me?
