Default Tuners, Programmers, Chips?

Just wondering what you guys are running. Got a 6" lifted 97 f150. Gas ain't good so I'm wondering what you guys are runnin to get some better mpg.

None of the 3 things you listed will make a noticeable increase.

Short of selling your truck or buying a car you are SOL.

Not much helps I have a cold air headers straight pipes and a programmer and I think I get 11 13 would be pushing it put I'm running 140 lb 37 inch rim and tire combos and I'm way over stock weight so someone who is close to stock should chime in

I have a KN intake, magnaflow muffler and edge evo ht programmer and I avg 15. The same as before all that stuff. More power, but no difference in economy. Nothing we can do to help mpg. Unless its a diesel.

A tune will help with performance and whatnot but not so much on mpg with setup like you have.
