Is it time to "chip" the V-10 in an E-450 class C?

Hi, With fuel prices going through the roof, is it time to "chip" the V-10 engine with the idea of saving fuel? RV is from 2004 so a four speed. I do drive 49 mph (78 kph) and do get 8 to 10 MPG...

  • Lighter weight

  • Less liters
  • Slower mph
  • Fewer trips


Are the only things that reduced my anal pump agony.

Costco i.e. Marathon refined no alcohol gasoline is still $3.88 gallon down here. Cross the border northward and it's simply eyepopping.

And idiots give their car full fill throttle cutting in and out of traffic.
