i have a 2001 dak 4x4 4.7l. it used to get better mileage than it does now - i daresay its topping off at 12 or 14 highway possibly less i havent done an actual measurement when it was getting 19/20 highway when new. im not a mechanic and being in england do not have access to a dodge dealer closest is the jeep/chrysler dealer. i do however have access to a hobby shop on base thatll do a variety of minor repairs/services. i dont mind doing my own work with proper instructions. theres nothing wrong with the truck that i can tell. it gets the ol evaporative emission leak error code despite the new gas cap but im told thatll not affect the trucks performance. the poor fuel economy didnt worry me as much before but now that the rules on base have changed and ill be paying $6.50 per gallon for gas on vacation its become more of a concern. anything i can do to help improve the gas mileage anything i should be looking at perhaps some preventative/standard maintenance i may have overlooked that would explain the dropping mpg thanks for your help! jmc the last time that happened to my older dak it was the o2 sensor. what were you paying for gas when not on vacation -- fmb only one b in fmb .

there are too many morons on usenet.. if the above is an indication that brent d is no longer participating good for the rest of us then. especially me. now my googling posts under brent will be a little more successful oh wait that was the only one that came up that wasnt me in the first place so what was that all about brent .

it doesnt matter how old you are or how many bad things that you have done in your life including lying and stealing all the way up to murder. it was this twisted reasoning that made 9/11 possible. it matters it fuckin does matter you complete fuckin asswipe! how fuckin stupid is god to be deceived by fuckin murders believers in islam are fuckin murders believers in christianity are fuckin mass-murders. god is not believing in this shit! hopefully ive insulted enough to have them pray for my soul so god wont fuckin smite me down have a fucking good day! .

i am having the same problem with a 2000 dodge stratus. after filling the tank the engine wont idle. if you attempt to stop with the car in gear the engine dies. there is also a strong gas smell but no sign of spilled gas. after it sits awhile everything is fine. the dodge dealership has checked vehicle and found nothing wrong. replaced fuel cap and fuel filter. problem still exists. did you ever find the answer .
