Do you think you have improved fuel economy much?
Where was it usually sitting after 140 miles?

Before removing the rack pure highway I would be doing good to get 200 mi perthe first 1/4 tank, 125 for ea 1/4 after, typically 125 mi before the gauge moved  That used to be 14 mpg or so. I droped 10 mph on my commute, doing 60 indicated, and in the morning only hit 1 light out of 5  . I also shut off the engine at long red lights.
I am anxious to see what mpgs I am getting. |

Converting to electric fans was one of my best mods. I picked up about 2mpg highway from that one alone.

A mirror reduction gave bigdave 0.66mpg on his truck several years ago.
I hadn't even thought of reducing the size of or removing the mirrors on my truck because since the new engine went in roughly 5000 out of the 6,000 miles put on it have been with the trailer behind it.
