Default E-450

I have a 99 e-450 with 360k miles. Rolling weight is about 11,600. My mileage sucks. About 8.5. Is that all I should expect or can I get more. I should mention that it has a hpop leak that getting fixed and the exhaust manifold has a small leak. I have a edge programmer in it set on 50 horse. How can I up the mileage without spending a but load of money on injectors and a top notch programmer. Or is this about all the better in gonna get. Thanks

Well your hpop leak aand manifold leak will cause a decrease in milage. Fix those first and see how you look then. Tunup basically- new air filter, fuel filter etc will help dramatically.

Make sure you have good oil cause thats what the injectors run on...high pressure oil.
