Dodge Dakota Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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

It's a v8 4x4 truck. The mpg is awful. Not that you would expect different. see full Dodge Dakota review

HORRIBLE. EPA rated for 17city 20hwy but due to transmission problem, I doubt I exceeded 20mpg on most occasions. see full Dodge Dakota review

Approximately 30 mpg highway and good mileage around town, too. Even with the premium fuel requirement the ES is still not very expensive to keep fueled. see full Lexus ES review

For such a large & powerful car, fuel economy is quite good. Driving a ~100 mile/day round trip commute in bumper-to-bumper traffic, I get 24-28 mpg. see full Lexus ES review

2008 4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
With the high price of gasoline, any six-cylinder vehicle can be considered more than necessary for a daily commute. Still, averages of 22.5 MPG are not too bad. see full Lexus ES review
