mpg difference
I may have stumbled on to something here, My 01 1500 318 used to get 12.5 to 13 mpg, now I am getting as of today 15.5, as the weeks go by I hope to be getting 17 to 20, laugh if you want, my wife is getting better mpg with her 96 intrepid. If you want to know email me.

RE: mpg difference
what made the "big" jump in your mpg?
hit the highway a few more miles than usual?
why would we laugh at a car getting better mpg than a full sized 4x4 truck with oversized tires?

not that 15.5 is all that impressive. had he said 20-25, or 100mpg, now then you would have my full attention.

RE: mpg difference
I would kill for 15.5 mpg, who else with a second gen gas job is getting better than that?

RE: mpg difference
I get 12-13 on the highway and 7-9 in town. I couldn't get over 14 if something else was pulling me[:@]

RE: mpg difference
I get 10-11, all in town, usually. I might try changing out my oxygen sensors here soon, see if that makes any difference. Then maybe some of my other sensors... never know when one dirty sensor is going to foul everything else up.
