The Mopar gas 2.5L doesn't get anywhere NEAR that mileage.. Requires little
to take 20-25psi boost.. But is a pain to arrange in the Dakota.. Needs
custom manifolds. On my 2.5L Dak I do good to just reach 22MPG.. and with
25psi boost.. Sure 300HP would be nice.. if you put your foot in it.. the
mileage really drops. I run 15 psi on my Shelby.
As for the 2.5L Diesel.. It already has 21psi.. with only 112HP.. I want
the Cummins 4cyl in my Dak.. Or an 8L V10
