i have done the k&n filter. i'm getting 15 or so, this includes highway. i have just bought the truck it has 41k on but it is in excl. shape. any ideas on how to get better mpg.

 

With 41k on it i would suggest getting the fuel injectors cleaned. Start there and see if you notice a difference. To get the full benefits of the K&N you bought, look into a high-flow exhaust system. Personally i would save my money on the exhaust though because its gonna be around $300+, and you can buy alot of gas for that price. Did you buy just the K&N filter or the entire Kit?New plugs, wires, etc. also may help improve the mileage.

 

Less pressure on the gas pedal helps too. Street tires, as tall as possible (thin too)but don't accelerate hard for it stresses the tranny,u -joints.

 

i have a 97 ford explorer and i am getting about 19 mpg city and about 20 to 22 mpg highway. i have not done anything to the motor. all it takes is good driving habbits. like when you are goin up a hill dont hit it to the floor to gut up the hill faster just try to keep it under 2000 rpm. when you are taking off from a complete stop try to keep the rpms under 2000 rpms. that is how i get better gas milage.
