thanks for all the replys, yea i knew the tires would not be good on mpg but dident know it would make a dramatic difference, but ima keep the tires lol, when i posted this i was kinda woundering if there was any kind of chip u can do to help with the fuel economy? would a air intake do much? i heard i wouldent but i thought id ask.

 

Look into a programmer with custom tunes

 

Like it has been said before in this thread those add on's are only gonna net you a couple mpg's. With the price of programmers and intakes it will take you years to recoop just the cost of buying them. They do great things for a truck but aren't justifiable to spend the money on them when saving money on gas is your concern.

 

id think an E-fan would be the best bang for your buck. 1-2 more MPG and if ya get one from the junk yard the whole set up with a controller and everything will cost ya less than 50 bucks. mine was 30.

 

Just got 15.6 on last full tank. 4x2 4.6 w/145k and counting. Without a heavy right foot my little 4..........6 is lazy. That was with mixed driving also so dont get ur hopes up. I could get that to 17 maybe but god how boring would that be

 

www.fuelly.com Keep track and see how your doing. Watch your foot.

 

I said this in another post ... But the best Mod I have done so far for MPG is park my truck & drive this .. I now get 45mpg!

It wasn't easy to do .. but I commute 100 miles a day for work.

So lets say gas is an even $4

Truck = 12.8mpg = $625 / month
Humiliating Metro = 45mpg = $177 / month

The trick to driving the metro is simple .... every morning .. take your heart, pride, mansack, & self respect .. rip it violently off .. hang it on a nail in the garage until you get home at night.

That makes it a little easier.

 

Well said.

 

 

Yeah that made me laugh but it's true

 

that's funny
