Thanks Stubby! I want to get some efficiency out of my 93 F150. It was abused pretty good when I got it, but it has the reliable 300 I6 in it and only 155K so I believe it will last me. I changed the oil pan gasket and put some fresh oil in it. The guy at Napa said 5W-20 was what they called for so I got some of that, changed the spark plugs, cap, rotor, new wires, new MAP sensor, cleaned the IAC but its still running a bit off. My best has been about 13.47 mpg all highway at a solid 70kmh...I will start posting fuel economy at my next fillup end of the week. Only getting about 9-11mpg regular I also put on new tires, stock size to help with around town mileage, they are lighter than the 31" all terrains that were on it
