hallo everyone
I am new to the site, but have been thinking of ways to improve my mpg for some time now.
I currently own a 1999 Ranger XLT w/ a 3.0L v6, which is giving me some poor gas mileage, which I am eager to increase and maybe share some of my ideas with others of like mind.
at the moment, with the minor things Ive done Im managing to avg between 24/25mpg on the hwy, my goal is to reach 30+ mpg.
things Im going to be working on in the next year:
Im going to work on building an aero cover, out of light weight aluminum, body molded to match my trucks lines as close as I can.
I decided to go with aluminum for its much lighter weight compared with fibreglass.
I also have a couple of ideas for smoothing out the front end of my truck, of which I will share as I work on it.
I am also toying with an idea for making the transition between the hood and windshield a little smoother.
with luck, my goal of 30+ mpg will be attainable, but Im hopeful after reading some of the results on the boards prior to joining.
