still building the D200 but it'll probably only be for when I have to tow and have a little extra money for fun driving. driving slower in my dakota. having a manual helps out too.

I would like to hear from someone who has "built" a MPG version for either a V8 or 4 banger.

It was a 780 mechanical secondary Holley.... It was getting about 8-9 miles to the gallon. I didn't build the last engine to save gas though...... So anything will be an improvement...

I am actually quite fortunate there,
the fuel is supplied by my boss for the daily driver and the dodge is basicly a weekender.
so what I save during the week can be used for play

I've got my Crew Cab up to 17mpg. It has a 97 360 Magnum with a 518 hooked to it. It still has 4.10 gears.

My wife and I have been carpooling for years now, but we just recently added a third person to our daily commute. Now we drive our cars every other week. Cut the old gas bill in half!

$1.65 here in Tempe, Az.

I stopped driving my suburban and Express van to every job I go to. I bought a 2.2L sonoma that I use for the little jobs. When I need material delivered or more tools I grab one or the other.
