Topic: Fuel Saving Tips

[GA Runner]

Does anyone have any good gas saving tips? Like different kinds of oil or air intake kits? Or new engines all together? Just tryin to get some more miles out of my truck. I start work this week and I'm gonna be driving farther to work and was just lookin for fuel saving tips so I can save a little

I swap out driving a truck with my boss...same truck (Dodge 2500 CTD), same trailer, same load...the digital read out ( I know they're not exact) says he gets 13.8 mpg and I get 16.9 mpg. The difference? He's constantly on and off the accelerator and I am silky smooth, steady as a rock.

Get all terrain tires, use the max psi you can do a tune up be steady on the throttle and dont go above 2750 rpms. I have a v6, motor is all stock DO NOT GET A KN AIR FILTER. Mine runs better and I get better mpg with a stock paper filter and it filters better too.  I have 35s it weighs 4500 pounds 529 gears rear locker and last time i did my mpg i got 19.8 on the freeway

i have 33 all terrains, they arent at full psi i dont think. i never really get past 2500 rpms unless i need to. i've found out that different gas companies have better gas that gets more miles like race trac for me cause they dont put as much ethenol in it i think. i think i get around 18 or so. i was just wonderin if there was anything else i could do
