[quote[/U]wheelbender6;405152]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.

Read post #17 then his response in #18

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.[/quote]
