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

2006	4dr Wagon turbocharged 218hp 2.5L I5 6-speed manual AWD	25-30 mpg is DOUBLE what my previous Jeep was getting. see full Volvo V50 review
2006	4dr Wagon 168-horsepower 2.4L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	30 plus mpg h/w at 65-70 mph for hours on end. see full Volvo V50 review
2005	4dr Wagon turbocharged 218hp 2.5L I5 6-speed manual FWD	30+ on the highway makes this a real touring car. City mileage plummets but typically get 27+ combined. The Turbo gives it lots of acceleration when needed and frugal when you leave the turbo alone. see full Volvo V50 review

Volvo V50 Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Really not that great but part of that is I LOVE to kick in the turbo when getting on the interstate or pulling out from a stop sign. see full Volvo V50 review
2006	4dr Wagon 168-horsepower 2.4L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Keeping those five cyclinders fed burns fuel. On the highway, that's not a problem, but in stop and go traffic, MPG numbers go down and down. see full Volvo V50 review
