I need max fuel mileage
First picture is plug 1 and plug 5
Second picture is the 8 plugs I removed about 6,000 miles ago
I did a tune up....plugs, wires, set timing a bit more than recommended (doesn't ping)...........in my 77 Dodge van with a 360 and went from 12 to 15 on the highway...................Around town, it's going to suck the gas anyways.
These gas prices are something else! I never thought that I would see hot rodders concerned with gas mileage. Its always been more horsepower, LOL. What gripes me is $ 13 to fill up the gas can for the friggin lawnmower!

No one complains about fuel but me.
people are still riding around in circles
