How Can I get better gas milage?

Yeah I deffinately don’t drive like the typical 17-yr-old. For example, I’m the guy in the farthest right lane that people go around. Seriously. Yeah, I know, hard to believe but I’m not lying. I’m a bit of a nervous driver. So that could be helping my gas milage. I do love my truck though <3 But I love my girlfriend more though lol

Brandon,

I see you are 17 years old. That’s a kewl truck, by the way. First piece of advice – do not drive like a typical 17-year-old. Grandmas usually get better mpg than 17-year-old boys because, well, they drive like grandmas.

You already have an advantage because you’re driving a five-speed. That helps.

Keep your tires operating at the recommended air pressure; other than that, keep your car serviced regularly – air filter, oil changes, etc.

All that being said, 17 mpg is probably a fair mpg to have on a V-6 engine of that age.

try to find a gas station with ethanol free gas. you will get better gas mileage trust me. you’ll get like maybe 3-7 more miles to a gallon. its not much I know but it adds up.

Yeah service it, that means new oil, oil filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, leads, air filter and consider a new distributor cap and rotor arm if they’re worn.

The life of your engine is changing the oil and keeping your vehicle in tuned up, tip top shape.
