Park the truck and walk!

There are plenty of threads about the quest for better fuel economy. Keep on searchin' and you're sure to find at least one of 'em.

So where in NE Georgia are you?

As you to your topic, which has been covered over and over again, there really isn't a lot you can do to truly improve your mpgs. What do you think or know you're averaging now?

If you've already fixed your plenum and addressed the front O2 Sensor and Catalytic Converter good, if not start there.

Some people report better mpgs with an SCT Tune, if you can keep your foot out of it.

swap the motor out for a 4bt? Thats all I can think of. Get rid of extra weight and use the smallest tires you can get away with. Install a vacuum gauge and learn how to read it.
