[QUOTE="Bomfy, post: 2149803, member: 154369"] Teh things you can do that do not alter the way you drive are adding and air intake and exhaust (making it easier for air to get in and exhaust to get out) will add some mileage. When you get the stock intake out you will see how restrictive it is for the sake of being quite. Next run synthetic fluids, there is some argument as to how much increase it actually affords, but the added life to the components is well worth the slight cost increase. Always keep your tire pressure int he right range, low tires can suck mileage. Keep useless weight out, it take more gas to accelerate any extra weight. Are you a person that has that lawn chair in your truck just in case? Alter your driving, Do you romp on it when ever the moment strikes you? Do you forgo the use of cruise control? Using the cruise control can help out a fair bit on the highway and even higher speed industrial sections (35+). It's also been proven that going over 65 the shorter time it takes to get where you are going is not saving you gas, it's using more. There is a sweet spot for just about every car, my buddy had an Excursion and he could get a whopping 17.5 mpg in that thing on the highway. Limited the amounts of time you start the car, so plan so you can kill 2 birds with one stone I could go on an don, but I think that will do for now. [/QUOTE]
