Magnets for improved gas mileage is just a absolute ripoff. Don't waste your money.

Check air pressure in tires,
Clean air filter,
Engine tune-up,
Use cruse control when I can,
* draft behind other vehicles.

Just got back from a trip, almost 400 miles, my Toyota Tacoma got 24.5 MPG

Keep the vehicle well maintained and SLOW DOWN (slow acceleration when you can, drive the speed limit on highways, and coast/brake slowly when you can).

I recently did everything above on a 200 mile run (one way). On the return trip I drove faster, had a larger load on the vehicle, and the traffic did not allow for coasting stops and slow accelaration...20% reduction in fuel economy...

My 4.8 liter engine in my '07 Chevy extended cab was rated at 20 mpg when I bought it. (I think the 4.8 is equal to a 292 cubic inches.) Anyway, I never paid much attention to the mileage till about two months ago. Even after I slowed down a bit, rarely over 60 mph, no fast starts or stops, trying to keep the tachometer under 1,800 even during takeoffs, I was getting around 17.5 mpg. I changed my oil, (Royal Purple, 5w30) air filter and tossed in a fuel injection cleaner. I am now getting around 19.1 mpg. I'd like to know how they drive to establish a vehicles MPG rating. Most of the miles I drive are on the road and rarely in the city. Another thing I do is put it in neutral when beggining a downhill run. That lets the tach sit around 500 rpm's.
Anyone know?

My tires on my truck are getting close to the ware bars, time for a new set of tires. I was thinking of getting a new set of tires that are a little bit narrower, say an inch to inch and a half also not as aggressive tread. I have M/S deeper lugs for going off road. What do you think? I have tires that are nine and a quarter inches wide now. My thinking is less friction on the road.

A diesel truck website I used to be a member of, somebody said this
one time - put some sharp pointy screws through the go pedal, pointy
side up of course, and drive barefoot :D

I let my tailgate down.It create's less drag I would think.I heard that it is hard on the bedside's to do that for a long period.I might get one of those webbed gate's and remove my tailgate.I heard on the radio it's cheaper to run the air cond than drive with a window down???

FYI
Don't let your tail gate down, they have proved it cost more to run a pickup with the tail gate down.
