i have a 06 f250 curently getting 11-13 mpg. running stock with 55000 on the clock.
what can i do for better mpgs on the cheap. i havent got the money for a sct yet so until then i need some more distance from a tank.

 

not alot to do there in the mpg department on the cheap. best bet is an exhaust, egr delete, tuner. maybe a little egr maintenence and turbo cleaning?

 

Drive like there is an egg under the skinny pedal.

 

I get worse fuel economy the easier I drive.

 

Now that you mention it... I get the same either way.

What I should have said was drive like an idiot, but just keep your overall cruising speed down. I notice a pretty drastic drop going from 65mph to 75mph...

 

If I can keep it under 70 or 2k rpms on freeway Ill get roughly 16 to 18 MPG. But once I go over 2k rpms it drops drasticly to 8 to 10 mpgs. And city driving is the worst. About 7 mpg in the city with stop and go traffic. I personaly try to keep it at 65MPH but will occasionaly hit 75 sometimes. I do average about 420 miles per tank of gas. ( 36 gals) I think the most I have got off of 36 gals is about 520-530 miles.

 

I get the about the same as ntmdtr3fan, all got done to truck is 4 inch exhaust. And here in New Mexico its dusty especially where i work, when my air filter was dirty i was getting worst mpg. So i check that too when every other oil change.

 

Funny. Only thing done to my truck is 4 inch exhaust also.

 

Down the road i plan on getting SCT and EGR delete but for now getting my gauges for monitoring my truck.

 

30k more miles till Ill get a delete. Will get teh sct at same time. Next up is guages for sure and a coolant filter. Oh and a big a-s bumper for the front. Way to many a--holes out ehre who keep cutting me off.
