Ways to improve lifted MPG?

Posted at: 2015-01-07 
One thing you can do to improve the gas mileage is change the gear ratios in the differentials. I would probably say a 4.11 ring and pinion gear set.

You would be lucky to get 15 MPG as it is, go to stock wheels and tires, 20-25 depending on gear ratio.

It's all about what you can REMOVE that would improve fuel economy. Bring it back to stock height, remove the huge wheels and you'll improve the MPG by 50% or more.

You can't buy something like this and expect it to come anywhere close to getting reasonable gas mileage. It's impossible with those modifications for that engine to pull that much wheel and that much off center height.

That's like buying an apple and expecting it to taste like an orange.

10 mpg would be good with those tires.

A buddy of mines cousin wants to sell me his 1978 Scottsdale k10, lifted a couple inches on 35s, stock 350 auto, he said he would give me a sweet deal on it but what would the mpg be like on somethin like that and what could I do or add that would to make it better?
