Why is my fuel milage so bad?
I couldn't DISAGREE more!!!! There is no such thing as "to high a profit". If someone or everyone wants a product, they'll pay whatever for it. And said producer should charge what the market will bear. Supply and Demand...........simple, basic economics. Are you self-employed??? If not, then I understand your answer.

Ok guys Im back in the same boat again. My truck sat for a while but after I changed the engine oil the milage jumped up a lot. Well then I just started driving it again and I only got 30 miles out of an 1/8 of a tank
. But when I got back to town I was at a light so in 2nd gear I decided to floor it and a huge black cloud rolled out. I was shocked because it barely smokes as it is. Is that good or bad? I dont know what to do anymore. There are no codes. Im extremely pissed. Any ideas?

If you are always easy on it you will not get all the carbon out of the engine. I know if I am on the highway for a long trip I always try and remember to get on it pretty good and it will smoke like a train for a minute, but if you try and do it again right after it will hardly smoke(unless the programmers are turned up). I have always been told to "clear" the engine out on long trips. Maybe somebody with more info could explain why that is, but it seems to be completely normal!
Ok thanks because it did sit for a while then did exactly as you said. Rolled a lot of coal and then barely any as normal after. I would like to understand the carbon build up thing more and how it effects the truck. Thanks for the info!
