Try a smaller main jet - our truck is the same setup; gets 12 mpg. Main
metering orifice (jet) is a 54; have been told that a 48 would be MUCH
better for efficiency and drivability, but have been unable to locate any
jets locally... haven't tried any of the mail-order people yet, as I can't
imagine the things costing more than a few bucks, and shipping would triple
the price!
Any Listees have some smaller jets out there?
