I replaced my spark plugs with E3's and wow what a difference. Even tho my Motorhome has only 53,000 on it. It runs so smooth now and I can see the change in gas mileage. What a difference. Spark plugs cost me around 6 or 7 bucks each but well worth it.

I stayed at the RV park for a week and didn't use as much gas that week.

LOL!!!!

If those spark plugs made a difference, every car company in the world would be using them.

I try to drive downhill! Seriously, the use of Gas Buddy to save MONEY on fuel purchases has been the most effective IMHO. Cost per gallon can vary greatly by state and/or county. I estimate a savings of $.10 to $.30/gallon by planning fuel stops instead of just pulling over when the fuel tank gets low.

I just do 2 things drive by my tach 1900 Rpm (59 MPH) and when I come to a hill a don't allow the 4 barrel to kick in. The only thing I changed was my driving habits. Ditto Cloud Dancer = less fuel consumed!

The weight of my 5th wheel on my truck makes it ride better and it squats some what. By squatting it makes it more aerodynamic and I get much better mileage. I also put E3s spark plugs in my diesel and got an extra 3 miles to the gallon. I am now up to 32 miles to the gallon.

I pull a toad. I get two vehicles from A to B by using roughly the same amount of fuel. Obviously this doubles my fuel mileage. Do the math.

I drive 55-60 mph most of the time. general rule is slower equals less gas consumed.
