Wonder what I can get my truck to do... I have 34k miles and this most
recent tank, I am getting 18.2 mpg. All I've done is replaced the spark
plugs with the Autolite plugs (Thanks!) and had the fuel rail, TB, and
injectors cleaned 2k miles ago.
Wonder what I can get once I get a job and planned mods on... new wires, TB,
Headers, Exhaust, electric fan, cold air intake, new wax job...
I also had a friend watch the instant MPG while I was doing 70 on the
highway and it was between 25 and 35. I wonder if I can actually get
this... :-) My best was 20.1 on a trip to Michigan on the Indiana Toll
Road. Gotta do the limit of 65 there... This was about 18 months ago when
my truck was still breaking in.
