little help please
I have a 1992 4x4 F250 5.8liter with 410 rear end. I have installed Flowmaster and K&N airfilter. Actually the only thing about this truck that isn't awsome is the gas mileage. Right now i'm getting about 13 mpg on the highway. I know that trucks like this don't get great mileage but i'm still in college so $ counts. I was looking into chips...do they actually help mileage? I currently run premium fuel anyway, will the chip help me out? do u recomend anything else to improve mileage?
thanks

If there is any mileage gain, it would be very minimal. These are for performance gains, they very seldom help mileage. You are most likely hurting your mileage bu using premium fuel. Your ecu's timing curve is set for regular fuel. Premium burns much slower, with your timing setup, you are not getting a complete burn of the fuel. Try regular fuel and see if your mileage improves.
