SUVs in this class haven't achieved the degree of fuel efficiency that the Dodge Durango here at Team Hodges does. The Dodge Durango's 5.7L HEMI V-8 engine choice features a fuel-saving Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system. How does it all work?
Sensors incorporated into the Dodge Durango's 8-speed automatic transmission help to communicate with the engine on the exact amount of power needed. This fuel-saving system will let you get to over 22mpg on the highways of West Branch, MI. When the gearbox requires more power than the engine can supply, the engine's cylinders will be activated to produce maximum power.
The Dodge Durango's ECO Mode can help the driver save a lot of money on gas. When the car is driving in normal mode, the ECO Mode will reduce the amount of fuel utilized to achieve the power required. When the demand for electricity is great, this mechanism will automatically turn off and on the four cylinders.
