I love these threads on getting more mpg from muscle cars and big pickups. It's quite a challenge.
-One member recommended changing gear ratios in the rear axle. You can also accomplish that by mounting taller tires on the rear. It will introduce speedometer error. It worked well on one of my pickups.
-Changing driving habits is the cheapest mod. if you have a long daily commute, reducing speed could be a real bummer.
