[QUOTE="H D, post: 1009465, member: 68494"] You claim to be getting the gas mileage that many brand new sedans are getting. How much better do you really think you can do with a 10 year old 2+ ton truck with the aerodynamics of brick? I'm really not trying to be a jerk or argumentative; I just think you've reached (or are extremely near) any possible maximum. You are certainly claiming the highest numbers I've ever seen anyone claim in a Gen1 ST. For related info about a guy that was able to get 30mpg from his 4 door Explorer, search the ExplorerForum.com site for posts by the late Aldive. Many of his methods have been lost since his passing since he did not spill all of his secrets but his mission is well documented. Consider the advantages his truck had over the ST from the factory, though. [/QUOTE]
