I'd really like to increase the MPG to 40-45MPG on this V8 6.0L Engine..

we had a 7mph tailwind the other day
it was reporting 40 to 45MPG on the instant gauge @ 60MPH steady speed..

flat land i think getting down to 0.28 from 0.34 will get me that 40ish at 60mph...

this is not about the MPG it's about improving the emissions output

that would cut the emissions output by 50% over EPA ratings

is it possible on a budget? say $200?

this would put my MPG right there with the Geo Metro
1.0L L3 GAS..

Hypermiling gets me about 31.5MPG (95% highway only) currently
