How Do You Increase The Fuel Mileage For A Dodge Dakota?
The Dakota is a mid-size pickup truck produced by Dodge. The newer lines of Dakotas get better gas mileage than the older ones, but no matter what year a vehicle was made, you can reduce its fuel consumption by following a regular maintenance schedule and using some common sense. A new line of improved auto parts can also help, particularly if your Dakota is old. Dodge Dakotas were first introduced in 1987. Place a cover over the bed of your Dakota. A cover will lower wind resistance and improve gas mileage. A cover will probably cost at least $400, but will pay off over the lifetime of the truck. Install an upgraded air filter. The new line of air filters don’t become clogged like the old ones. They cost twice as much as traditional air filters, but they also last for a much longer time. Tune up your Dakota for the time recommended in its maintenance manual. Older Dakotas need to be tuned up more often than newer ones. Change the oil in your Dakota at least once every 3,000 miles afte
