Re: Mileage/Power Improvement After Brea

My driving is mixed 60% city and back roads, 40%
highway at speeds of 65 to 75 mph. My truck is a
1997 F-250 SC automatic 4:10 gears 4X4 with 285-
75R16 BF goodrich tires with tonneau cover on the
bed. I live in the D.C. area temperatures range
from about a 100 in summer to near 0 in the winter.
This winter has been mild in comparison, only
dipping in the twenty's and once this year in the
teens. My truck has never varied much between city
and highway. I would not say that break in is
complete on these motors until 25k to 30k miles.
That comes from friends that have the same truck
and experienced a jump in mpg in that range. 
We could spend all day going back and forth about
the differences in a like vehicle. Strict
tolerences or loose a motor and vehicle will run
and operate totally different in performance and
handling.
To make a statement that low expectation brings
little or no incentive to improve. Is totally out
of line. Everyone that visits and participates in
this site has the thirst for knowledge and the
willingness to learn. But when you hash and rehash
a subject to the point of nausea, whether it is new
to you it is old to the rest. People do get tired
of a subject and dismiss new request for
information. Jason has graciously provided a search
at the top of the board. If you were to utilize
that you will most likely get all the information
you desire. And realize the extent in which it has
been discussed in the past.
