Hi I'm new to the site. I am averaging 11mpg in my 04 1500 4.7. I have done tune ups tried higher octane fuel, even new cat back exhaust. I'm lost and have no other ideas. I was seeing if that's the norm or if anybody else had any ideas.
Seems to me that would be about normal for a small displacement V8 with only 230hp struggling to pull around a 4800-5300lb (you didn't say if it was RC or QC) heavy *** truck.
My 04 5.7l get 14 city an I think 18-19 highway but average 15+- most of my driving is city. headers, dual exhaust, took the clutch fan off and put electric fan took the 3.55 open diff and put 3.92 lsd
