How can i make My Ford f150 Get better Gas Mileage?

I have a 1997 Ford F150 2 Wheel drive on 31 inch tires and It has 77,700 miles on it. I'm a highschool student and im driving around a lot in town and my gas mileage isn't to good. What can i do to improve it?How can i make My Ford f150 Get better Gas Mileage?Go to stock radial tires...with full amount of recommended air. Stop driving around town...city driving is idle time..uses lots of gas. Make sure the vehicle is properly tuned and has clean oil and air filter. Keep your foot off the gas..drive progressively...and back off the throttle long before you get to the next traffic light.
Also never start your engine until after you have your seat belt on and are ready to go immediately. It adds up..leaving the car idle..2 mintes...3 times a day time 30 days...equals 90 minutes per month... I would say it will save you 6 gallons of gas per month.

You can get a programmer (~$400) to reprogram your ECU. It will help ~1.5 mpg. Electric fans and removing the mechanical fan helps a lot, it removes parasitic drag off the engine. CAIs can help or hurt, but if you get the programmer it would help to have one. If you have bigger tires, regear your rear end. do NOT get any "tornados" or anything from AutoZone claiming to get you more MPGs. Lastly, do not go over 2500 rpms, keep them low and if you have the V8, be sure you keep to OEM Motorcraft plugs and wires and clean the TB, fuel filter, IAC, and MAF every 10K miles.How can i make My Ford f150 Get better Gas Mileage?i have an 01 supoer crew i use synthetic oil with 100 thousand miles and i get 18 mpg with that oil alone but those tires are making u lose WAY to much power and ure odemeter is prolly of by a million miles haha try using a tornado and synthetic oil umm kool air intake wouldnt be a bad investment eitherHow can i make My Ford f150 Get better Gas Mileage?
i have had 3 f150's stills have two, an '01 and a '93. my '93 gets 10 MPGs. its your tires. i went from 14MPG to 10. and im only running 33's. theres really nothing you can do. a programer will get you torque but no MPGs and re-gearing it will help a little. i suggest 4:10:1 gears.

disregard the Dumb Dumb talking about his '01. totaly different trucks and different motors. synthetic oil doesnt get you MPGs. what an Idiot.How can i make My Ford f150 Get better Gas Mileage?I know exactly what you mean, I had a 99 f-150 with the 5.7 L and got 12 mpg. I put a cold air intake on it and got about 15 mpg, for $200 not a bad investment.
