Long story short - Friend and forum member talks me into buying 5.3 V8 Chevy. Says it gets 15-18 MPG. Truth - 13 MPG driving like my granny is sleeping in the trunk. FUCK!!! What to do to make a FI engine get better mileage? Truck only has 67k I bought new plugs ($7/ea.! Iridium) damn E85 engine! Supposed to be good for 100k. Planning on new wires. There is no cap/rotor. Each cylinder has its own coil instead. Bought new fuel filter. Will be needing new tires soon - any suggestions? What else can I do? Is this just the "true" mileage of the 5.3 and I'm screwed?
I wont be able to make it, unfortunately. I so wanted to get a base pull before I do any mods too. Oh well. Maybe it will rain both days and Brian will move it to next weekend.
Wow, I just repped Shitty. Hell HAS frozen over. This dude got what he deserved for his gluttony and sloth and I'm sure his story will end up on that 1000 Ways To Die show.
