better fuel economy?
I have a 2000 ranger with 130k, 2.5L with a manual trans, 2wd, and stock size tires (double checked). If I milk it for every mile (coasting as much as possible) I can get 24mpg on the highway. I bough this truck hoping for 30+. What are some cheap mods I can do to get more out of it?

Buying a truck hoping to get 30+mpg is like buying a brick and hoping it will float. Trucks are designed for utility, not economy.

that sales sign may be the only way to reach that 30 mark but if you take TireIron's advise and do a complete tune up it deffinatly made a difference, at least it did for me, i've got a 4.0 and its a 4x4 so there isn't much in the way of milage expected but it did help some, went from around 9-11 on average to about 15-16 which is a dramatic change for me. It also feels like the engine has been refreshed, a little more pep in the step!
