We own a 11 Ford Ranger XLT super cab 4WD pickup with a 4.0L V6 and a 5spd automatic transmission. It has 3.55 gears in the rear differential. I was getting 19mpg with the cruise control set on 75mph. After adding a K&N intake and a 3” FlowMaster exhaust, I now get 23mpg. The truck is mainly used for work around our property and has only 36K miles.

IMO Best way to increase you mpg is the free way! Just mind your driving. Accelerate slower, accelerate going into a hill, not when you already slowing down while going up. Try to cruise at a speed that allows your car to be at lower rpms. (2k around 55-60mph in my case depending on highway speed limits) Ya might make a few speed demons mad, but taking it easy will get a good thank you from your car too!

Riding a bicycle will give you 600+ mpg! I know, as I tried it for a year, got into GREAT shape, saved enough in insurance alone to pay for the bicycle, and probably cost me all of about $50 more in food the entire year. The gas savings for the first three months paid for all my gear, including shoes, short bibs, long bibs, rain legs, helmet, gloves, jacket...

Scotty, the thing about mothballs comes from drag racing. Back in the day (40s/50s/60s???) mothballs had nitromethane/methanol as active ingredient, which is toxic to moths and humans, but is also basically what top fuel dragsters and funny cars ran on. Of course stuffing mothballs into a gas tank will work about as well as stuffing gas tank with sulfur match heads - do not try this at home/expect something bad to happen.

I tried these XCAPs myself. On my 2001 Rx I went from 15.6 to 17.1 a 1.5 MPG improvement on a 19.8 gallon Netting an extra 24 miles. At $ 4 bucks a gallon that around a 1.5 gal savings or about $ 7.50 cent savings and they cost me about $2.50 on-line. Doing it soon the second time. So, I like them.Other stuff at the big auto stores didn’t work for me.

I totally disagree on best gas mileage when a vehicle is new. I have a Volvo XC60-T6 which is rated at 23 mpg highway. Initially I got around 25 during the summer and over the years it improved and at 70 mph on the highway with the cruise control on I get over 29 mpg. If driving at 55 mph I get 32 mpg which is significantly better than when new.

Scotty. Want your opinion on this one. What do you think about adding specifically TC-W3 ashless 2 cycle oil to your vehicle to act as an upper cylinder lubricant at the ratio of roughly 500:1 or 640:1 or roughly one ounce per every five gallons of gasoline on fill up. I've heard this method thrown around many motorist forums with positive results increasing gas mileage 1-2mpgs, mildly decarboning your piston crowns and no long term detrimental effects to the catalytic converter. I attempted it on my 2009 Lexus RX 350 for a year without any fouled plugs or check engine lights and did see a small bump in mpg's. I was not using top tier gas back then. But have been using exclusively Shell gas and SOPUS products for the last year. They have good additive packs in their oils. Especially Quaker State and Pennsoil Ultra Platinum, and good detergents in their gas. Sometimes I do BP or Sunoco if the price is right also.

When I purchased my 2016 Toyota Tacoma it was getting 485-530 kms/tank. That's bad fuel economy but that's what you are getting out of them from factory. I talked to so many Taco owners and they as well are getting the same mileage!! I could not accept that so after some tweaking and minor mods immediately was getting almost 700km/tank and still am to this day !!! I can prove it I even took it to my local dealership and they were surprised> I took my truck in for a custom tune to get better shifting and response and the tech guy had never in all the years of tuning the Taco's has never seen mileage like mine !!!

Easy gains way - bang the car into neutral on a nice flat stretch of road doing a steady speed & see how your car rolls. If it starts to slow rapidly, chances are the brakes are dragging/bearings bad/tyres soft, blah blah - you want it rolling smooth & easy. Smooth & easy means your engine isn't fighting excess drag. Sort that first, go from there.

Scotty I bought a Mercedes’ Benz b200 turbo 2011 with 139km mileage and automatic for 5500$. It came with summer tires and new winter tires and the brakes just got changed but from what the owner told me there was only 1 owner before him and it will signal the engine light often for no reason even after he fix it

"the engine light often for no reason even after he fix it" ...... I hope your wallet is full of money, that's an alligator that will always be hungry and the drain will never end. Out of warranty Mercedes (as well as BMW's) are best suited for people wealthy enough that continuous, expensive repairs don't bother them or for people that do their own repairs and know how to work on those cars. Otherwise, the odds are not in your favor.

Oh yeah. Spins the incoming air to better mix the fuel. You’re not trying to tell me it didn’t work? Oh, no! I got 57 mpg in my 1973 Hugo. Maybe it was the K&N filter that improved the mpg and an extra 39 hp. 😱

Greetings Scotty, You are obviously knowledgeable about cars, and gasoline. So, I have a question. I bought a new Rav4 hybrid in 2022 and always put regular gas in it. When I filled up the tank, for a year and longer, I got 565 to 575 miles to a fillup, no problem. Then I started noticing the gas pump would stop before the tank was full, which it has been doing ever since. I have to keep pressing the pump several times, after it stops the pump, to fill it up. In addition, when I fill the tank, I am only getting 500 or maybe as much as 525 miles to the full tank. Is this because it used to be a new car, or has the gasoline become less efficient in some way?. I am not doing anything differently when I get gasoline versus when the car was new. Thank you for your insights.

That little silver cylinder with the blue bands on the edges and what looks like a fan inside, that Scotty shows in the beginning- I got suckered into buying one online for a Chrysler minivan, supposedly they improve gas mileage. There's nothing to them. I never even installed the thing in the van, maybe I will use it as a paperweight. But I feel better about buying one now, knowing that Scotty also got suckered into buying one.
