I have a 2001 f 150 supercrew, Ive installed a cold air intake ,a 3" exhaust and reprogramed with superchip. Is there anything else I can do to get better gas milage besides driving slower then the speed limit? Smile

Keep tires at max allowed pressure. I've heard that a tonneau cover on bed helps. When weather permits dont use a/c. Drive like you have an egg on gas pedal. Always try to drive downhill. :lol: BTW slower is not always better. I get better mpg at 60 than 50 in my lincoln. My guess is the gearing. Letting eng run in opt rpm.
