12 to 16 mpg on a 13 yr. old 6 banger 4x4 sounds pretty good to me. My 2002 4.7 AWD QC gets the same mpg.

I have that same truck. The highest mpg's I've ever gotten was 18.75 on the freeway! But my average is probably around 16.5. I have 31x10.5" tires, 2" body lift, and 1.5" torsion bar lift. I also have some performance mods, too.

i get anywhere from 7*-16

*7 is when im marking snowmobile trails or doing minimal movement over long stretches of time in 4-low,

but other than the that i drop down to around 12 or 13 when its cold and snowy with 4x4 driving such as it is now, and about 15.8 or so when i drive around 60 for about 50 miles at a time. so yeah thats about average mileage, i heard of somone getting 20 mpg but i dont think its true unless the engine was reringed and rebuilt with some mods, i want to get a K&N filter with maybe one of those tornado fans on the intake (i heard the combo will get ya around another 2 mpg) but 9other than that im always trying to find ways to up my MPG with minimal $$$$ put into it,

Tigerdak what kind of mods you got? and can we getsome pics in here, i wanna see what the lifted 31in tire combo looks, ive been thinking for a while of raplacing my damn little 28" tires

To see some pics of my lifted truck, go here:

http://www.geocities.com/Baja/Desert/1727/DodgeDakota.html

There is a place on there to "see a pic of my lifted truck" (or something like that). Also another place to click on that lists out my mods. Its a very good source of info for Generation I mods.
