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

Dodge Dakota Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr SUV turbocharged 265hp 3.0L I6 Diesel 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	like many other SUV it consume more fuel, but I know the EPA before buying the X5. see full BMW X5 review
2008	4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	poor compared to diesel see full BMW X5 review
2006	4dr SUV 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The 3.0L i6 is rather underpowered, and it's hard for me to squeeze even 22 mpg out of my X5. Most of the time, I get close to 20. Most V8 X5s from this generation get 16-18 mpg. see full BMW X5 review
2004	4dr SUV 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I get a consistant 16.6mpg. Mostly in town driving. see full BMW X5 review

2002	4dr SUV 282-horsepower 4.4L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	It gets about 16 mpg in town and about 19-20 on the highway. For the amount of performance I should not complain but I would love a SUV that got about 30 see full BMW X5 review
2001	4dr SUV 282-horsepower 4.4L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Horrible mileage. see full BMW X5 review
