Gas Mileage...yikes
 

Any suggestions on how to get better gas mileage.....I filled up Sunday...70.00.....and as of today, I will have to fill her up again. I'm only getting about 120-130 miles per full tank. Is there any maintenance I should do to help better this....before gas reaches $4.00 per gallon........[sm=bs.gif]

Iam generally getting between 300-325 miles per tank out of my 2000 DII.

Tell me...at this rate...once gas reaches its peak ($5.00 per gallon)I'll be looking at spending about 750.00 a month on gas.......[sm=smiley19.gif]

holy crap. I am getting 16-17 at the worst...and I have a 97. What have you done to the truck so far?

recently....changed out spark plugs....new tires....just standard stuff. I just ordered the spark plug wires from Mikes guy in California....waiting on them to get here...

With 10% ethonol I get 12 to12.5mpg in town 14.5 hwy.
With out ethonol I get 14 to 14.5 in town and 16 to 70 mpg hwy.

The wires are an excellent idea, and from what I understand, the 2 front O2 sensors play a role in the fuel consumption if they are going or dropping in performance. There's apparently a way to check their performance, but for about $150.00 you can change them both.

Check it out. You might want to set your plug gap at around .045-.050 when you change your wires. Makes for a longer spark and better fuel burn.

If you have a MIL ( check engine light ) on start with that before
you start throwing parts at it.
Most problems will turn the light on,
