The truck runs and drives just fine. It gets about 12 mpg less than many full size cars including a cadilac and runs about half as fast. I checked it while driving a little more than half on hwy and the rest in city and got 14.7 mpg. Runs perfect. I may buy an older cadi. Front wheel drive gives it better traction, the trunk is nearly as big as the dakotas bed , rides 5 times better and quieter and gets right at 26 mpg. It may cost you three thousand more depending on the model, but there are several others like the malibu getting 30 mpg and very fast costing about the same. Why does this great little truck suck on fuel milage? I need to get rid of it even though I like driving it . Full size chevy with a 350 v8 gets 17mpg. Dodge? How long you guys been building these things? Im missing something here. Gotta be. I bought a 2003 2wd v6 Dakota with a automatic trans a few months ago. The truck runs and drives just fine.

Truck has always been dependable, and only 75,000 miles. Truck starts up fine, then as soon as a couple city blocks wants to die when I pull my foot off the accelerator for an intersection. Drives just fine with full power on open road, but just dies when I go to slow down. Will fire right back up though!! Can you help me out here?

The chart shows E85 for some 2008 models, but nothing for prior years. Note that vehicles capable of running E85 achieve significantly lower mileage when running E85 when compared to conventional gasoline. @kendra – it might be best to check with your Dodge dealer to see if your Dakota is capable of running E85.
