What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Dodge Dakota

Dodge Dakota Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2004	4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 230-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic RWD	Gas mileage is not too great. Essentially, it is no better than many larger trucks. Long trip highway mileage averages 19.5 mpg, but in-town driving really pulls it down. My driving is 75% highway, but just that 25% town driving pulls the mileage down to about 17. see full Dodge Dakota review

2007	4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed 230-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	It's a v8 4x4 truck. The mpg is awful. Not that you would expect different. see full Dodge Dakota review
2007	4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 210-horsepower 3.7L V6 4-speed automatic RWD	HORRIBLE. EPA rated for 17city 20hwy but due to transmission problem, I doubt I exceeded 20mpg on most occasions. see full Dodge Dakota review

2007	4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD	I can go below 7L/100km when driving long routes (or about 9L/100km driving in residential areas). Not bad for a car this size and power. see full Dodge Caliber review
2007	4dr Hatch 172-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD	My AWD model gets the worst fuel economy of all the caliber models, but is still great for an AWD car! Typically 26mpg in the city, 30mpg on highway trips. see full Dodge Caliber review

2007	4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD	Not as good as I would expect. The Avenger which I own now get better fuel economy on the highway and is a roomier car. see full Dodge Caliber review
2007	4dr Hatch 158-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD	This STINKS... I believe the reported fuel economy on my car was something like 25/30.
