It has a 2.7L 4cyl and I consistently got 21.5 mpg. I tried switching to synthetic oil, new plugs, fuel treatment/cleaner and bought a K&N air filter and nothing seemed to help the mileage. It had dropped to between 17 and 18 mpg....unacceptable to me.
Recently I finally I found a gas station not too far away that sells real gas....no ethanol. So I decided to try running the real gas (also using Lucas fuel treatment) and see if it made a difference.
After one tank of fuel my mileage went up to just over 20mpg. That is unreal to me and frankly it pisses me off that Ethanol is that shitty. Yet it's still put in gasoline and passed off as an improvement. I fully expect to gain a little more after another tank or two and will keep going with "real gas".
Thanks for letting me use the podium.  |
Heres another shocking tip. If you want better gas mileage, dump your truck for a sedan.

One of the best plays Matt has ever made.
