I still have my 98 durango I bought new. 360 4x4 392 gear I love that thing. Out on hiway I can get bout 17 now (160k miles on it) but intown. I think I actually get better gas milage with it then the 12 ram. Wich for the most part is where I do the most driving.
I may trade the 12 ram in this weekend for a 14 and can get either the 6 speed auto or the 8. But if the 8 speed dont get better gas milage (in town where I do 95% of my driving) then I may just get the 6. Now remember I do most all my driving in this in town up and down hill and that is what im wanting to know about. Yes I know the 8 will get lil better out on the road. But it wont be spending much time there. As if we go out of town we will be taking the 300 lol
