& Does anyone have real figures on the difference in milage between
& the V6 & V8 in the Dakota?

I doubt too many people own both a V6 and a V8 dakota. From the EPA
estimates there is a about a 2 mpg difference between the V6 and the V8.
There is also about a 2 mpg difference between 2wd and 4wd, and 1 or 2
mpg difference between and auto and a manual transmission. The EPA
numbers show no difference with different rear axle ratios.
