Fuel Economy Ideas
I am starting this thread to get ideas on how we can get better fuel economy with our Burbs. What have you done to get better fuel ecomomy with your Burb?
Now I know that 4x4 Burbs with 30 inch or more tires and 4:10 rear axles just wont get mileage but I'm talking about us folks that use them for daily drivers and are mostly stock. I just bought a 90 4x2 (700R4 & 350 TBI) Burb 1500 with 3:42's in the back and I'm getting 30 to 40 % less mileage that I was getting with my old 87 with the same powertrain and 3:08 gears. If I put a 2 1/2 or 3 inch dual exhaust with Flowmasters or something along that line will my mileage improve?
