Just a word to say how great the threads and post are on this forum.
I'm somewhat of an outsider by owning a 92 E150 5.0L beater work van that I bought for a Kbuck to move from Evanston, IL to Racine, WI so I could be closer to my grandkids. Love the truck(van). A real horse. Only get 15mpg. Looking for better, much better if possible. That's why I'm here.
At 75, I've had many vehicles, loved em all, even the Model A pickup I drove as a kid on our farm. My Dad taught me to drive on ice by giving me the wheel on a frozen pond one cold winter in the early 40's. He said spin around as much as you like but don't hit the shore. It was a small pond and the shore was hard to miss but I learned a lot about exiting from a skid and I did not hit the shore.

Welcome to the site.. Get a K&N air filter. That will help a little bit. IT will also last a million miles with regular cleaning. In the long run its cheaper than replacing paper filters all the time.
