Sign In just wondering if anyone could tell me what i can do to improve the mileage im getting? the vehicle is a 1993 gmc sierra 1500 sle with a v8 5.7l engine with 2wd not 4x4 that has 240000kms on it. i know a tune up is due on it, but was wondering what else would work Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jul 7, 2011, 9:31 AM Post #2 of 3 (3102 views) Re: improving mileage?

If highway use just slow down some can help but there's no magic out there to make it do tons better.

Sign In As Tom said , do the basics and common sense stuff, like accelerating easy anticipating stops, drive as smoothly as possible .You will be suprised how much it helps .

Magnets on fuel lines , etc, The only gain will be the sellers profits.
