Dodge Durango Fuel Economy
Economical Data for the Dodge Durango (Released material from U.S. Department of Energy)

The two most common ways to measure vehicle fuel usage are:

1.
Fuel consumption: the amount of fuel used per unit distance; most commonly, litres per 100 kilometres (L/100 km). This measure is used in Europe, China, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Lower values mean better fuel consumption: you use less fuel to travel the same distance.

2. Fuel economy: the distance traveled per unit of fuel used; most commonly miles per gallon (mpg) or kilometres per litre (km/L).
This measure is used in the UK and the USA. If mpg is used, it is important to know which gallon is being referred to; the U.S. gallon or the imperial gallon. The imperial gallon is about 20% larger than the U.S. gallon. Higher values of mpg mean better fuel economy: you can travel further for the same amount of fuel.

Use this simple calculator to convert from mpg to L/100 km
Enter MPG ->
=
l/100km
 
To convert manually between L/100 km and miles per U.S. gallon, divide 235.2 by the number in question. For miles per imperial gallon, use 282 instead of 235. For example, to convert from 30 mpg (U.S.) to L/100 km, divide 235 by 30, giving 7.83 L/100 km; or from 10 L/100 km to mpg U.S., divide 235 by 10 (23.5 mpg). To convert from L/100 km to km/L, divide between 100 and calculate the reciprocal of the result.

All first generation (1998-2003) Dodge Durango's use regular grade unleaded fuel from the gas pump.

All Chrysler engines like their gasoline; I've noticed that either one seems hard-pressed to average more than 13 mpg in combined city and highway driving and keeping the foot out of it as much as possible.
