By far the best economical solution is keeping up on maintenance and checking tire air psi.
Oh ya!
Controlling your right foot.

If you take a stock f150 and apply custom tunes to it that can also help.

Well I heard that those new bugs have a little turbo in them so they didn't need as big of an engine. Smaller engine with a similar power rating should get better mileage.
So if we lower the F150 and have it naked(no grill guard, tool box ect.) with a bed cover, add more gears, chop out any metal parts that are not being directly used, put little narrow tires, the OP's mods, and with a lazy right foot you might be able to get good mileage...down hill.

well 88racing, As you know from my previous post im dying for a CS with custom tunes. mainly because ive had to drive in Lexington KY lately since my dad is in the hospital down there. Its a pretty fast pace driving there. but ive been in some sticky situations where i had to but the pedal to the floor getting back on to the interstate. Everytime i do this it makes me miss my 07 FX2 because this 09 has nothing on the acceleration that the 07 had. So im hoping that the programmer will at least help some(which i know it will).

Once Bill gets things squared away with edge in a couple of weeks then hopefully real soon after that you can get one!
I just want to do an upgrade but unlike you I can get one but like you I cannot get custom tunes for it.

so we cannot get custom tunes with the CS or do we just have to wait a little bit.

Yes we will be able to have custom tunes for either the CS or the CTS.
Eventhough I can get one I can't get the custom tunes until Edge gives Bill their blessing.
Policies
Agreements
Politics
Whatever you want to call it. That's what Bill is waiting for.

Didn't mean to scare you.
I thought I worded it well enough.
