Message: [QUOTE="TARM, post: 446703, member: 578"] The biggest things you can ever do is taking off and accelerating as easily and slowly as possible. Plan all stops and slow downs. Remember using the brake is no different than hitting the go pedal. Next thing is fill your tires to the maximum rating. You want to be running on the least amount of tread when going straight and it also lowers friction. Add a air dam to the front below the bumper will gain you 1 mpg maybe more. Something that goes as low as possible with just enough ground clearance you are not hitting it over speed bumps. On things you add to the engine exhaust header tunes etc..I would try resetting the computer by pulling the battery cables and touching them together for a minute. On a number of vehicles the reset causes the computer to relearn and when you add or change devices or tunes apparently it makes a difference sooner. As far as I know its a gasser thing at least its not a 7.3 thing as far as I can tell. It may do nothing but it may help either way its harmless other than having to reset radio channels and code if you have one. You could add a water meth injection kit and then it could still be used with the diesel to control EGTS and add a bit of mpg on the diesel once it goes it. Would help with the fact you are having to run higher octane fuel as well I would think. Unlike the diesel since there is no direct cylinder injection so the metering so mixing basically like the fuel. So you do not have the down side of meth like you do with diesel I would think. Anything that can be carried over to the diesel swap IMO is a good thing and should make it higher on the list of things to do [/QUOTE]
