RE: Anyone got any REAL fuel saver tricks??
With the SCT tuner showing up on the market to reflash Chrysler OBD-II PCM computers,
someone could experiment with setting highway cruise
to a higher air to fuel ratio than 14.7 to get a fuel economy gain
Two things need to be found out:
...how high an a/f can the various Dodge v8s and v6s ignition systems go to before miss-fires become a problem
...hwo much fuel economy gain is at each a/f like 16, 17, 18
most of the engineering tables on aircraft engines show about 7% better at a/f of 17
but the ignition system needs to be strong to keep firing that lean

I used to get 20-21mpg but now its around 17-18mpg. I think my tires and lift have more to do with. but I'm still happy.
when myO2's went, I was down to like 12mpg and they didnt throw a code at all.
if I could baby it for 1 tank, I bet I could get back into the 20's again. but Idont see that happining.
