  • Better Gas Mileage

    I know it matters to everyone, but I think it matters more to those of us with less efficient vehicles. I have comprised a few videos to help people with this, explaining how i get my 00 Chevy express 1500 conversion with it's 5.7 vortec to get 19 mpg. when originally the dealer quoted it at 16 mpg, 130k miles ago. perhaps this info could help the rest of you as well.

    How are you calculating your gas mileage?

    To be specific, when you say you get better gas mileage in the top 1/2 of your tank vs the bottom 1/4 of your tank. How are you calculating it?

      Yeah, I would love to see some more data/measurements on it.
      On a big V8 engine like yours you can use a programmer chip that features a Fuel Efficiency mode. It setups your engine computer to maximum economy which results in +1-5 MPG.
      This device is pretty simple. It has a touch screen just like your smartphone and plugs directly to the ODB II port.
