Eric,
I hate to rain on your parade, but don't be surprised if you don't even
get the
mpg listed on your window sticker. I've been trying different things to
improve
the mileage on my '98 R/T and I was told that the EPA runs the trucks at
49
mph to get those figures on your window sticker! So unless you plan on
driving
real slow, you may not do that well. My truck is consistently 2 mpg
UNDER
the 16 city/18 hwy listed on my sticker.

After waiting 2 very long months, my new Dak finally arrived...woohoo!
:)

Now my questions :)
The sticker says 13city / 18 highway, any ideas on how to increase
this?
I've talked to my mechanic (who lives right across the street, lucky me
:)
) about how to increase the mileage, and he suggested the K&N filter,
which I'll be putting on as soon as he gets a chance to get my truck in
his shop. Any other ideas for better mileage?
Eric
