Default Re: Gas Milage Tips And Mods?

anyway, my truck will have a 14mpg avg after a few more tanks.

-i run premium fuel (is about 10-20 cents more here)
-mileage has gone up with each tank except the offroad ones
-my last 2 tanks were the best, and i removed the NERF steps and the roof cross bars. those cut down on wind noise at highway speeds, so maybe if they were noticably contributing to noise they were noticably worsening aerodynamics
-i have 17" aftermarket rims and factory tires and have never adjusted tire pressure (i'm learning)
-no lifts/lowerings/engine mods

whatever that's worth
