hello from a newbie

Greetings from California!

I bought a 1996 F250 XLT, 2WD 7.5L with a mere 83,000 miles last year. It has been great except for being a gas hog. I would love to learn about improving fuel efficiency and performance and hope the kind people of FTE can help me out!

Jacqueline

Welcome Jacqueline, great to have you on board.
We all hear your pain as all trucks have the same problem with fuel consumption and today`s gas prices. For some ideas post in the Alternative Fuels, Hybrids and Mileage forum: Alternative Fuels, Hybrids and Mileage - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums as well as the 1987 - 1996 F150 And Larger F-Series Trucks forum: 1987 - 1996 F150 And Larger F-Series Trucks - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
Swing by the local Ca chapter and post your intro there too: Western Region - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
