Totally agree with VT Kidder. read up on carbs. There is nothing that you can clamp to your fuel line to improve milage. However, one reason i get mid 20's out of my 67 is a fuel contratptoin. Its design is simple. Works great, i would drop 5 mpg if i took it off i bet.

piece of absolute garbage, when I was working in a garage one opf those things actually clogged a guys fuel line by grabbing all the rust particels and plugging them in one place, guess it shows how much crap was in his tank, and that tornado thing just has to make me laugh, that thing is plain stoopid!

if you want gas milage get a compact. If you want a truck you have to deal with crappy gas mileage even if it is brand new. The aerodynamics of a truck are never going to be condusive to the kind of gas mileage people want to get. Things you can do to help. Keep you engine tuned properly. You have to tune for mileage not performance. Trucks that run fast suck lots of gas fact of life. Avoid city traffic. Stop and go really sucks gas, and one that is rumored to help is the bed cover. Supposedly a bed cover reduce the drag created by an open bed and the tailgate. I have driven many long trips with the tailgate down. While it seemed to help I haven't done any real measurements. Maybe we could do a study and get the govt to subsidize bed cover purchases for the good of the environment

Any article that claims that innovation is stifled by big oil or the big 3 when it comes to gas mileage is just plain wrong. In reality the automobile gasoline market is just a small percentage of the money oil companies make. Even if you car got 100mpg it would still need oil for the engine, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid and gear oil. The big rigs that deliver those products still run on diesel, and use thier own petrolium products. Manufacturing, end products, and thousands of other things all come from crude oil. A loss in any one of those areas would be just chump change compared to buying every patent that showed a slight promise of innovation. If that were the case everyone would be driving a vehicle that got 6 mpg.
