poor fuel mileage need help

|
fuel filter, air filter, right foot???? mine gets about 18 city normal driving but if i get on it often it can vary.
|
new fuel filter and jus cleand air filter and been drivin like a 90 year old granny. dosnt matter if im runnin the balls off of it or takin it easy still get 15 mpg
|
Shorts trips will get ya

Right foot and mileage are directly connected.[coffee] The more the right pedal is pushed, the more the mileage will drop.:o Ease up on right foot, and mileage will come up.:cool: Remember the wise old saying, you play, you pay (in more ways than one).

Has your area switched to winter fuel? I drop about 4mpg with winter fuel. Try a winter front (cardboard) to get the engine temp up quicker - this has helped with mine.

you might try cleaning the AIT and MAP sensors to see if that helps? Have you checked for codes?
|
gear ratio? and yes, city vs. hwy makes a diff.
|
im running 3.55 gears with 285/75/16 tires. the skinny pedel stays off the metal all most most of the time. im thinking it might be something in the timeing. i had a inj pump put on about a year ago and ever since then my towing power went to crap. it runs good with out a load but soon as ya put something behind id it falls on its face.
|
i cecked the codes today only one i have is a 0500 and thats for the vehicle speed sensor
|
Considering your running a different size tire than what the speedo is calibrated for your odometer is off.
Oh ya you have the Adrenaline correct? Edge sells the Attitude.[dummy] Which tune are you running? You can set the Pulse up to read the correct MPH. You have to input the stock tire size and the new size. |
ahhh yes different size tires make a big difference. on my bronco i have 33s on it and i was getting 10 mpg according to the odo. i checked it with my gps and i was getting 14 mpg. the gps was on the money. i felt like a goober after that [duhhh]. cause i been woundering why i keep getting 10 mpg with a 351 with cam heads headers exhaust intake performance coil advanced timing and so on
|
ill have to check that never thought about the tires screwin with it . i dont know really what settins im runnin on the quadzilla. i emailed them about about information on custom tuning but they didnt geive much info
|
Just one quick thought is tire pressure. You may want to check the pressure more often with the larger tires......more road contact.
|
