How to Save Gas in a 2000 Dodge Durango R/T

With fuel prices on the rise, everyone is looking for ways to save money and increase gas mileage on their vehicle. The 2000 Dodge Durango R/T is a midsize SUV which averages 12 to 14 miles per gallon (MPG), according to Edmunds. It's important to do all that you can do increase your car's fuel efficiency, especially when your car has a low MPG rating. Following a few simple tips, you can be sure that you're getting the most out of the money that you put into your gas tank.

Instructions

  1. Drive Efficiently

    • 1

      Drive at a consistent speed. Frequently changing your speed can decrease your fuel efficiency.

    • 2

      Stop speeding. Your Dodge Durango uses fuel most efficiently when you are going under 60 miles per hour. Anything about that eats away at the gas much more quickly.

    • 3

      Decrease the weight. If you have extra stuff in your car, get rid of it. The lighter your car is, the less fuel that is needed to move it.

    • 4

      Stop idling. There is no need to waste gas when your vehicle isn't moving.

    Repair Your Car

    • 5

      Tune your engine. A properly tuned engine allows your vehicle to run more efficiently.

    • 6

      Inflate your tires. As your tires become deflated, it puts more stress on your vehicle and makes it work harder and use more gas to go the same distance.

    • 7

      Add oil. If your car is running low on oil, or you're using a cheap oil, your car will have a lower MPG. Make sure you check your oil regularly.
