higher gas milage

[bigbronc2632]

im using my bronco is a daily driver since im only 18 and i cant afford another car nor do i want another car because **** a bronco has always been my dream car and getting one was like christmas times 5 but anyways wat are some parts i could change to get better gas milage but not take away from my horses a guy told me the other day that if i got a single performance cat converter that it would help is this true and wat else could i do

i dont blame you man. a bronco is my dream and i cant wait to get one. i dont even spend a penny savin up for my bronco. i heard somewhere that there are spark plugs that help fuel economy. and thanks to the mythbusters, it is more economical to drive with windows up and air on versus air off windows down.

Im in the same situation, some of these cold air intakes claim to give better gas milage but for me the best way is to give it slow acceleration and coast to the stops.

I thought that was only with speeds 45 and up?

i wonder if driving with my rear window down would increase gas mileage?

The best way to improve the mileage is to hang a bicycle rack on the back!!

Check the hubs after driving & if they are real hot, the brakes may be dragging. I've been told plastic pistons in the calipers are bad about this. You can get steel pistons or replace caliper with rebuilt using steel pistons. Also, I don't think a Ford caliper "floats" very well compared to a GM.

I've read in this forum that a high quality ignition with wide gap plugs helps fuel mileage. Combine this with a low restriction air filter.

Also read here that disabling air pump will go against you. Good luck.

what i did with my broco is i got some shorty hedders and full tru dual exhaust, 2 1/4 inch to the mufflers and 2 1/2 inch tailpipes...a good breathing engine helps alot and also i got a k and n intake system so give tht a try

broncos and gas milage have never been good. they're heavy and have the arodynamics of a brick, but thats what makes them tough.
