You might be able to realize an increase in MPG without going to the expense of truck modifications. Make sure your tires are properly inflated. Poorly inflated tires can cut your MPG by 0.3% for every 1 psi drop in pressure. MPG can improve by 3.3% by keeping your tires inflated properly. Avoid "jack rabbit" starts.
Received 39 Likes on 19 Posts. 300 6 cyl. fuel economy. I'm wanting to get rid of my POS commuter car and replace it with an OBS of some sort. This new rig would serve double duty as a snowplow as well. I'm curious what kind of economy the 6 cyl is capable of, I've heard they get good mileage but don't know how much truth there is to it.
Should a customer express concern about poor driveability and high fuel consumption, the probable cause is the calibration of the Transmission Control Module (TCM) and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).5. Fuel System. A bad fuel injector or dirty/old fuel filter can drastically affect the flow of fuel into the engine. A fuel system problem is one of the most common causes of poor gas mileage. 6. Air Conditioner. The more you run your A/C, the lower gas mileage you will get.
