[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 893624, member: 52972"] JohnnyO, 22.5 MPG is what I could get driving a steady 65-70 MPH in mixed terrain between Texas and Ohio, on both of my Sport Tracs, and I only had a K&N drop in filter. My point is not the engine modifications that are returning better gas mileage, it's driving habits that really makes the difference. You often cannot control the terrain you drive in, how much traffic there is, or your route to and from work, etc, but some simple modifications to your driving habits can return a very substancial savings in gas mileage. If you vehicle is tuned properly, tire inflated properly, and you are driving to save gas you will get respectable gas mileage for the weather and traffic conditions where you drive. If you are getting poor mileage, just learn how to drive to conserve fuel. Something like an accurate Scan Gauge or trip computer can point out what are good and bad driving habits in a very simple and understandable language...Instantaneous MPG ! ...Rich [/QUOTE]
