New to the site and my 2001 Dodge Durango (5.9L, 4x4). I seem to have really given myself a handicap with this truck, staring at 13-15MPG as a tank-to-tank average. I'll be making upgrades soon and hopefully posting my fuel-savings here to help others who are forced to drive people-movers rather than gas-savers. I've been modding for mileage since about 2001 with my 1992 Dodge Dakota (3.9L, 4x4 ext.cab), and I didn't even mean to. I slapped a huge open-element filter on the engine, upgraded the spark plugs and went from 17-20MPG tank-to-tank average. My previous vehicle was a 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan (3.3L, 4spd, fwd) that I modded from 21 to 27 MPG tank-to-tank. See ya 'round.
