If you had $500-$1000 to spend in an attempt to increase your fuel economy, what would you put on your truck? I have an 02' 4x4 1500 4.7 and am getting 14mpg average. Would like to see closer to.....16 or 17? May be to much to ask, but am just wondering where my money would be best spent. Thanks for the help.

 

exhaust, electric fan, and air intake.... prolly could get all that done easily less than 1k

 

cai, programmer, aeroturbine muffler

 

dude i got exhaust cai and recent tune up and still gettin 13.7 mpg. im still slapin myself sayin shoulda got the hemi

 

^ ha, ive been getting 14+ with my HEMI!!!! but i have been babying it. sorry to rub it in

agreed on the mpg upgrades... cai, electric fan, and exhaust... then again it takes a lot of gas to make up those 100's of dollars spent on upgrades...

oh, and sling less mud... that cant be good for the mpgs

 

E-fan, intake and exhaust.

 

a honda

 

buy a 2x4 wood and cut it into a smaller piece. then place the 2x4 under your gas pedal.

you can also use the egg method where u put an egg under the gas pedal and try to drive without cracking it. thats always fun too

 

Also keep up on your tire pressure,that's a freebie! The other option would be take your $500-$1000 and buy a moped or scooter. My Harley will get 50mpg on the highway but it cost closer to $20,000 so not really an economy vehicle if you look at the big picture.

 

Put it in the gas tank. No matter what mod you do for efficiency, it will never pay itself off in fuel savings. Do a mod for better performance so you can actually enjoy it.

Or, get a Tornado, some magnets, and flux capacitor.
