i get out and push

 

-Mopar performance air cleaner with K&N element
-Magnaflow hi flo cat and exhaust
-50mm polished TB
-SCT Tuner
-Fresh Tune up
-TruxSport roll up tonneau cover
-Hughes plenum kit
-Scangauge2 to monitor instaneous and average MPG, as well as Gallons per hour used.

Not sure what they all gained individually, but I get 17 in the city, and sometimes upwards of 21mpg on the highway as long as the speed is between 55-65mph. on the interstate I get 19.5mpg traveling at 72mph. Anything over 73mph and my mileage drops down . I also have a lowered regular cab shortbed 2WD, with a 5.2 and 3.55 gears with 275/60/17's.

 

sct for me ,if you keep your foot outta the gas ! being serious

 

Gee wiz Nick, I bet your last 100 posts contains something along the lines of, " I lay in bed with my SCT Tuner everynight and rub jerkins lotion all over it."

In all seriousness, it is a great product, and will net more MPG if you can manage to keep your foot out of it.

 

I tried the upgraded exhaust, k&n filter, cooler thermostat, warmer plug, lighter foot (notice I said tried), then I got a intruder 1400 for the warmer dry days and it saved me about 40 bucks a week.

 

A raw egg in the shell between your foot and the accelerator pedal.

 

lol. that would not work on my 81. i have to stomp on the gas to get the choke to open until it is warm enough to stay open.

 

The guy i bought my 96 from said he put in a new cam. Not sure what he did or didnt do but i get around 20 average city and hwy. But i do keep my foot off the acelerator also.

 

2002 Ford Ranger with a 4cyl and 5 speed. The first Ford I've almost liked. >SHHHHH!<

 

Go buy a bigger truck, then drive the ram and you'll be happy with what it gets. I have a 89 chev 1 ton dually with a 454,4:56 gears on propane with little 225/75r16 tire and it gets 6mpg max, the dodge gets 16mpg.They are trucks what do you want. You can spend all kinds of money on parts and unless you plan on keeping the truck for ever, you will never see your money back in gas savings.
