beaters what options do us mopar lovers have?

i blew a plymouth acclaim and dodge spirit for a bunch of years.... i think i paid 2 grand for one of them and drove it till it blew a transmission. Transmissions seemed to be a problem in those damn things.

a 6 cyl dakota is decent on fuel mileage around the 15-20 mpg range. Thats all my 3.9L was doing. Now that i have the new 4.7L it does the same gas mileage with more horsepower. The 318 i had before all the other dakotas did about 15 mpg on a good day if i remember right.
