Right foot and mileage are directly connected. The more the right pedal is pushed, the more the mileage will drop. Ease up on right foot, and mileage will come up. 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.

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.

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.
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.
