Fuel mileage
Sorry this isn't 3rd gen related but it is about chips. My 88 f250 gets 10mpg, And with a trip to work being 30 miles it is getting expensive fast.
My ? is can a chip be burt to increase gas mileage, I don't really car if I lose some HP. Also if I keep my stock chip can I just swap them back and forth when I need to tow the bird to the track.
Please any help would be apperciated.
Thanks
John
