Despite lower gas prices in the mid to late 1980s and a 2.26 to 1 rear end gear ratio, the Diplomat's carbureted engine and lack of an overdrive gear on its TorqueFlite automatic transmission resulted in poor fuel economy compared with its larger competitors from Ford and General Motors. The EPA estimates for 1986 models gave the Dodge Diplomat with a 5.2 liter V8 and 3 speed automatic 16 city, 21 highway and 18 combined.
