tuning doesent affect milage much its more how you drive it, if you drive normally you should get around 20 or better running #2 fuel if your blacking out every corner milage goes way down

I'm getting somewhere in the ball park of 16 or 17. and that's with 4.10 gears and stock. what can I do to drastically get better mileage? i drive over 130 miles a day and sometimes over 1,000 miles a week. I don't punch the gas all the time but I'm about to do a 3k gsk and tuning the engine and advancing the timing so i can get my RPM's down a little back to a powerband.

something that no1 has mentioned that i know of a trick is if yur timing is advanced in the winter time retard it back to stock, she wil start in half the cranking if u r running a lot of timing, i hve marks etched in my pump and pump shaft and all i use is a mirror and barring tool and every winter i kick it back to stock for a few months and then tweak it back up later on, takes may b 5-10mins when u get the hang of it and saves a lot of starting time i promise you :tu:
