fuel mileage
#6
I appreciate all of the replies, but my question was, "What mods can be done to increase fuel mileage and what's the best mileage you have gotten from your 7.3?". No one has any real world experience with this? Aren't there computer chips, exhuast systems, air intake systems out there that can increase performance and mileage? I heard this site was "the bomb"!

I get about 16 mpg normally and 13 or so towing a 22 ft enclosed trailer at 70 mph. Does anyone have any experience with before and after mods of things like chips, air intake, exhaust, changing gears to 3.73's from 4.10's...that sort of stuff.
What about converting to peanut oil or whatever it's called? Thanks and keep the replies coming. James

What did you do to get 20 mpg? Thanks, James

What kind of speeds... 55 mph? James

I drive a 2005 Honda Accord to work everyday. I am looking to cut costs for towing across the country. James

ive done a superchip flash pack, boost power ups mpg a little. it has a clean burnin tune, not alot of smoke, best bank for the buck, also typical stuff, intake, exhaust, all helps. one other thing ive done is a high pressure oil line cross over, connects the to heads together for oil passages. im not sure if it helped out my mpg but it helped the idles. runs alittle smoother so im sure its not hurting. got the line from strictly diesel, got the tuner an exhaust from kt performance. great to deal with he's a sponsor on here. check out his site. great guy to deal with ktperformance.net
