i drive a 1989 ranger xlt with a 2.9 and an auto trans (unfortunately). I have a 3 inch body lift and run 32 inch mud terrains. The engine is freshly rebuilt and i also have an electric fan and even tried out those e3 plugs that are supposed to help a bunch. and i know there is no possible way for me to get amazing gas mileage but i also think that i should be getting better than 12-13 miles per gallon? any tips at all? i used to run an msd ignition but it shorted out when my alternator fried and took out the whole elctrical system! it seemed to work but it might have been all in my head. and i know the mud terrains arent helping all that much either so im saving up to get some bfg all terrains. but in the meantime i could use some advice on getting some better gas mileage!
and no im not all that heavy on the throttle, just enough to keep up with the flow of traffic, i try and always stay below 3000 rpms whenever i can
thanks!
