That's worse than what my 1999 dodge durango (5.2L V8 at 250 HP) was getting when i had it. and the durango got 9mpg city and 12 highway. This car has more horsepower, at 270 or 280, buts its a 4.2L I6 (inline 6)...man, i don't know what to do...

Don't expext much better, you didn't buy a Yugo, you bought a SUV. instead of dumping a bunch of money into quick fixes maybe you ought to learn to drive more efficently. That might get you up to almost 21 mpg on average:
