Another Gas Milage Thread

[watisgood]

Hey Guys,

I've done the following to try to improve my gas mileage:

Spark plugs
Wires
Seafoam
Fuel injector cleaner
Fuel filter
Radiator flush and Thermostat
Intake
change my driving habits (never rev past 2,500)

I do the most on a tank 250 miles this come out to about 15 miles per gallon. There has to be something I can do to improve mileage? I don't even drive past 65 any more.

Also check your tire pressure.
You said you have done and intake. Did you get an oiled filter like a K&N? If so you might want to clean your MAF with some electric parts cleaner (the kind that evaporates). Sometimes they can be over-oiled and start fouliing the MAF giving your comp. bad readings.

In a mix of 50% city, 50% highway, my 4.0 OHV fluctuates between 15-18 for a tank with super light throttle. You're not off. And I don't drive over 65 either, that's just the way it is, and how she runs.

whats your warm idle rpm's at? you could adjust your tps and clean your maf for free. spend a little money and get a highflow air filter and switch to full synthetic oils n' lubes.
