How to Improve Fuel Mileage
I am driving a pretty much stock '01 4x4 quad cab CTD and getting around 17-18 mpg. I was hoping for around 20mpg when I bought the truck based on stories I had heard. Is there anything I can do to get the mpg's up....besides pushing the truck around?

I get about 17.7-18.5 ish, I romp on it every so often to though. (same truck minus the exhaust).
Keep your tires aired up = Rougher ride, but better MPG's.
If we weren't facing $80.00 to $100.00 fill ups I would say an EZ or maybe MAD ECM would help you a mile per or so.
See my sig, I'll be lucky if I'm not thumbing it soon..........

A sacrifice in response, but the larger turbo housing will help, EZ and 275 help. Straight pipe will help a little. Make sure your fan is releasing or go to a smaller fan drive.

Driving habits! I work @ a dealership and see mileage all the way across board on like vehicles, and what I've seen is because the way the vehicle are driven. Some are easy on the GO pedal other are HEAVY. I'm pretty easy on the GO pedal myself, especially on long trips. I usually average 21-22 on trips cruising 68-70mph. When I first got the truck, before the BOMBs I averaged 19-20. Just my $.02
