gas mileage
I have an 04 F150 obviously in the winter you loose gas mileage. I bought a throttle body spacer and have noticed no difference at all. What are the mods that really work. I want better gas mileage and some more power what do i do

regearing (if you have your truck lifted running bigger tires)
exhaust system

Cant do much about the gas mileage. The biggest factor is how you drive. Keep those RPMs low. A programmer and exhaust will help abit. But try to keep your foot out of it when you start to put a couple mods on it or it will just get worse. ha

tires
I recently replaced the pirelli scorpion tires that came with my truck, I went with 33" procomp extreme all terrains and surprisingly I get much better gas milage....So I would recommend you check your tire reviews online and see if you could find something with a better fuel rating. I probably get 4-5 mpg's more. I also have the k&n intake and flomaster exhaust and saw no improvement on mpg's. I also purchased the superchip for tire sizing and a friend of mine has is performance tune set for economy for better mpg's but he has to put in supreme. He has a chevy and I dont know if its the same as a ford but if you have to buy premium gas then what's the point?
