Here's a web site tech tip that will help a little bit more in your search. I'd ask the moderators to post this in the sticky section. It would benefit allot of the forum users.

Default mpg

I have read a lot of these, but haven't tried any yet. I seen electric fans, full synthetic, accel coil with .55 gap and i think 12 or 14degree advanced timing. experiment with air pressure in tires. I have just bought a new clutch to install and am trying to get my exhaust done when i change the clutch. I'm going to be doing all this at once so hopefully in the next 2 wks I can accomplish this and i will try to let you know my results. I see a lot of good threads, but i'm not very good at navigating the forums. I tried the search thing and brought up a lot of other threads so I wish I could direct you to the threads. I seem to have better luck searching on bing and always seem to bring me to the f 150 forum.
Good Luck!!
