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

Ford Freestyle Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Wagon 203-horsepower 3.0L V6 CVT AWD	Very hard to beat in a 7-passenger vehicle of this size. With AWD, I average about 22mpg in mixed driving and have gotten 25mpg on an extended trip at hwy (70-75mph) speeds. see full Ford Freestyle review

2006	4dr Wagon 203-horsepower 3.0L V6 CVT FWD	Superior to anything in its class for freeway MPG. Only turns over 1900 RPM @ 70 mph, 27+ MPG depending on conditions. Mixed fuel economy is not bad either, my wife drives 50/50 city/highway and we average just over 21 mpg. Very satisfied with MPG. see full Ford Freestyle review
2006	4dr Wagon 203-horsepower 3.0L V6 CVT FWD	I can drive my freestyle fully loaded from Florida to North Carolina and get 26 MPG. see full Ford Freestyle review
2005	4dr Wagon 203-horsepower 3.0L V6 CVT AWD	For a car its size, 24+ mpg is pretty amazing. This can be contributed to the CVT transmission. see full Ford Freestyle review
