Looking to Improve Fuel Economy on 03 4.6L
#24
Add computer controlled main mast + Jib and sail off to sweetness. Everytime the gauge slams to the left you are dumping raw gas into the turbo lift and reducing the return signature gain by 2 gigabytes.

Why are we talking about fuel economy? We all knew what we were getting into when we bought our trucks! 13 to 15 mpg be happy you have a heavy *** truck with a v8! They are made to work not just go from place to place. If you want fuel econonmy buy a car!

Get real. 90% of the driving a truck will see is from just getting from point A to B with no real cargo weight. Unless you're a job foreman, you won't have a toolbox & fuel tank in the bed to carry around with you. I carry all my tools in the back seat and occasionally fill the bed up with stuff. I was extremely satisfied with the 20mpg I got when I helped my friend move. I had a queen bed, bookcase, chest of drawers, an entire kitchens worth of appliances, and several 55gal totes worth of books & other stuff.
I had a car and it did just fine. But mudholes had a tendancy to be a problem for a Camaro & its general age was working against it, so I needed the truck. I was merely asking for some good ways to get better economy, not a "BIG TRUCKS SUCK GAS DUH!!!" opinion.
