What is your daily-driver ..??

Doc · 06-20-2008, 05:48 AM

I picked up my 90 Caravan 2.5 5 speed about 2 years ago. Great MPG. I am glad I got that when I did.

You ?

2001 dodge dakota sport, V6, 5 spd, 9 1/4 rear w/3.54 gears, regular cab, 2wd. I get 24 mpg. If I can get a posi unit with the carrier teeth on it for the speed sensor, then I'll raise the gears to 3.21. It has plenty of power to spare for it, thats for sure.

1999 Dodge Ram 1500 360/AOD 3:54 gears 16 mpg was driving it full time, but this is staying parked unless I need to haul anything.

Now driving the wifes 2005 VW Beatle AOD 30 mpg and my daughters (she just got her license this week) 1995 VW Cabrio 5spd 38+ mpg. I may be looking for another mpg car soon.

Hey Chally ... what is your mpg on that 89 ? ... I know a guy in Canada that has one ... the MPG will WOW you.

Currently mine is a '94 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. Lifted with 31" ATs, full factory skids, and a rear locker.

challenger · 07-25-2008, 06:45 PM

hey doc i guess i cant really answer that about how much the 89 gets , i have never really checked it out but i can usually get anywheres from 400 to 500 miles on a tank , just depends how and where i go , it is set up for the 55 miles per hour as that is what it used to be when the truck was made and know doing 70/75 is sort of hard on it and plus being a 4x4 i usually do around 60/65 unless im in a hurry to get home from a hunting trip or something hehehe i have 362,000 miles on her and she still runs like a champ

Doc · 07-25-2008, 10:53 PM
