tricks to squeeze out a few more MPG?


If your really gunna attack my spelling I think a 3rd grade class room is the better forum. I am not an engineer, I actually have a degree in history( from calpolly Pomona) technical theater ( also from calpolly) and am in law school at ucla so my spelling on a forum doesn't bother me.

The simple fact is he is pulling claims out of nowhere with no evidence of their validity, and when I have both personal experience and professional experience that says its wrong I'm gunna throw the bs flag high in the air

Thanks knight. I appreciate it. I'm glad to see other people get it. I got a dyno appointment on the 29th and I will see if they can't print me off a copy of my numbers from last year. But I'm not making my claims up. So rose, wr, and kryptonite, stop calling me a liar. Like I said look at my truck in person, watch it on the dyno, take into consideration what other people have to say, and then you will see who's right. I can't believe this is even an argument.
 
Breath people! I'm not an engineer or a speeller. Ford Rangers are nothing to fight about.

I work at McDonalds and I am proud of it. :headbang:

I like you haha. I pretty much like anyone who is educated. :icon_thumby:

:icon_cheers:
 
I didn't call you a liar, just want see proof to back up the claims you're making. Rarely does any one bolt on part make such a large improvement. K&N filters don't make close to the claims on the box, cold air intakes rarely live up to the claims they make. So I also find it difficult to believe a bolt on header would make those gains.

I think rose is gay. Talking about butt dynos and liking other guys on the forum. Anyways, I know what it feels like to drive much more powerful cars. I got a 650hp shelby and a 700hp 73 stang. My ranger isn't fast or anything close to it. But I guarantee its a lot faster than your stock 4 cylinder 2wd. So take your 'butt' dyno elsewhere. I only use real dynos. The kind that a vehicles go on. Fag.
 
Real way to prove your point by calling someone gay. All my doubt is gone now Mr. E tough guy. I have a ferrari in canada and have 3 supermodel girlfriends too.

lol!


well if you actually use real dynos, then we definately expect that slip.
 
Don't forget about the account in Switzerland, the island in the Bahamas, and private jet
 
Oh yeah I forgot I don't have those either. Oh well, this is lame. So this is my last post here. I'm done.
 
haha i just checked out your ^ profile and we have the same name! yet we are so different... haha
 
The best way to increase gas mileage is to adjust your driving habits straight up. The more MPG's the car gets stock, the bigger the difference will be from driving habits.

Pretend like your foot has an egg between the gas pedal and your foot, try not to break that egg. Remember that high RPM and load are what drives up fuel usage. If you just ease along allowing other traffic to pass you, you'll eventually get up to speed with them and spend much less doing so. Feel free to use higher gears, just don't give the engine too much work to do by giving a lot of gas while in those high gears. I routinely use 5th gear to keep going at 50mph, but if I need to accelerate I go back to 4th to get the job done.

Also think of braking as "negating the gas you invested to get going your speed". In other words, try to anticipate braking and do it as little as possible. When you get really advanced at this technique, you will learn to brake very early when there is stopped traffic ahead and go a certain speed that will be just slow enough to keep from catching up to the traffic and needing to all out stop, but just fast enough to not lose too much of your precious momentum.

Also something silly to do (don't really recommend this) is to take your windshield wipers off completely. They cause drag and could result in a very minor reduction in MPG. Not something I'd ever do, but if you're ever in a desperate situation like in your original post and need a no-cost solution, that's something you can try. BTW, always drive with the tailgate up if you have an open bed (no canopy etc). It's been proven having the tailgate down causes additional wind drag in the back, as strange as that may seem. Putting a tarp over the top of the bed supposedly may increase your MPG's but I have serious doubts on that one.
 
way to bring up an old thread, NOOB


hahaha
 
Why don't you tape all the seams and get fenders that cover the wheels while you're at it.
