Cool

Bascially, the best way to get the best mileage is to keep the engine tuned at all times to the best of your ability. Good plugs, Motorcraft, Autolite or NGK's and good cap, rotor and wires (anything other than stock). Keep the carb tuned as well and goe easy on the accelerator unless absolutely needed ... It will use gas but it is all how it is driven that will determined how long the tank lasts.

Have Fun & Keep on Truckin'
