Bad MPG in my 12 valve
I'm new here so help me out if i do something wrong. my question for you guys is how can i get better mileage in my 97. i currently get around 9 in town, i am going fast sometimes so i don't baby it around all the time but for the most part i do. i don't do much highway driving but last summer when i drove to the beach i got about 20-21 on the highway.
my truck is a 97 12 valve hx35, 5'' straight pipe, K&N cold air intake, 4k gov, tuned pump, full cut delivery valves, pusher intake horn. 2.5" leveling kit on 20x12 fuels with 33" mud graps.
i need help! i need better MPGs, any suggestions????

thanks for the replies guys! yes last year the truck was all stock except for exhaust and intake also i didn't have the mud tires on i just had A/T's. also i of have the valve springs done too.
so this week i have been really babying it keeping the RPMs under 2k. i have seen a very good increase in economy i should be around 14 now in town, its just no fun i guess this is just what its gonna have to be.
once again thanks for the replies!!
