My only complaint with my 1997 Dakota 4x4 wth the 318 is the gas
mileage.
My experience and talking to others is that the Dakota is not gas
mileage "friendly".
Just my 2 cents worth,

Most of us didn't purchase 4,000lb trucks with 230hp V8's because we
were looking for good gas mileage....I was looking for towing power.
The Dak gave me 50hp more than my 78 3/4 ton plus a 50% improvement
in gas mileage. Guess it's all how you look at it.
If fuel economy is your thing, suggest you trade the Dak for a
econobox pickup.

Rob,
I too was looking for towing power. But, there is good and bad in
everything.
I was just saying that the fuel economy was the worst part about my Dak.
I'm not worried too much about the fuel economy on my truck because that
is why I have a "commuter car".
No thanks, I think I'll pass on your econobox pickup suggestion.
