How can i inprove my mpg?

I have a 1998 Ford Explorer Xlt(v-6 ohc) and im looking to improve on my miles per gallon. So far i change the oil every 3k and i have since changed the spark plugs wires and air filter. Is there anything i can replace or alter to get a better result then i am already getting?How can i inprove my mpg?There is no magic bullet here. No magic bolt on. No magic additive. The basics will do more for you than anything else.



Slow down, don't speed



Keep your tires properly inflated



Accelerate slowly



Decelerate slowly



Keep your vehicle well maintained



Remove excess weight.



Plan and consolidate your tripsHow can i inprove my mpg?You don't state what mpg you're currently getting but i would guess 17-19 highway. Those V6s were never mileage champs. Also, you don't say whether it's 2 or 4WD. If 4WD, then subtract 2 mpg.

Your best bets for upping mpg? Make sure that tyres are properly inflated, eliminate any excess weight from cargo area, keep your right foot light %26amp; don't go %26gt;65 miles/hr.

The only other thing i'd recommend is having the fuel injectors cleaned.How can i inprove my mpg?In a nutshell NO. This all depends on where you drive the vehicle and how. Try to maintain a speed will help. Heep city driving to a minimum ( its where the fuel consumption is going up) and i would actually sel it if it really bothers you ( i know its not the answer you were looking for but its the truth. If you can do without it then get rid of it)How can i inprove my mpg?Drive it economically, keeping revs down, high a gear as possible, avoiding sudden acceleration and braking, anticipating slowing down for lights, junctions etc. Make sure the tyres are correct pressure, avoid using aircon.How can i inprove my mpg?Keep the tires properly inflated. The most dramatic improvement is produced by careful driving. In a Ford that's pretty touchy with the quick-jump accellerator that jackrabbits as soon as you touch it.How can i inprove my mpg?replace the fan to elct fan and remove the fan that run with the motorHow can i inprove my mpg?empty the boot (for USA read trunk) to lessen drag. What do Ford advise? Remove roof-rack for same reaon as empty boot.How can i inprove my mpg?explorers are known to use lots of gas. Find something better on gas.How can i inprove my mpg?Drive more slowly.How can i inprove my mpg?Without doubt, you better pick yourself
