I've read a lot of other posts on here about MPG and it seems like other people are getting way better than I am..... Is there any good ways to boost it? I filled my truck up and drove 48 miles and it took half a tank... I don't think that is very good haha. A lot of people say it's how you drive and stuff, but since my truck uses that much gas up I drive as fuel economical as possible! Any thoughts and ideas would be much appreciated!

 

50 miles took half a tank? wow. have you done a tune up recently? ie. plugs, wires, air filter, oil and oil filter? hows the truck running?

 

It runs great! I just did a full oil change and cleaned the air filter (K&N) Would the plugs make that big of difference? I'm going to check them tomorrow to see how they look

 

hmmm you leaking gas somewhere. thats like 5mpg. I didnt even think our trucks in the worst conditions could drink fuel that fast.

 

yeah i would have to agree with vista4.0

 

So what you are saying is that you get 100 miles per tank.

 

sounds like you have stuck open injectors

try a power fuel injection flush

is it showing a check engine light

 

I Tow a 19 foot boat fully loaded with 33's and can still get 9 mpg up a steep hill

 

check your dpfe (Differential Pressure Feedback EGR)

 

That is more than driving style unless you are idling in traffic. If you are not driving in Los Angeles at rush hour towing a trailer there is a problem. Do you have a check engine light? Do you smell raw (unburned) gas coming out the tailpipe? Is your gas gauge screwy?
