Im getting terrible fuel mileage with my 96 stroke. Literally 300 miles max with a real easy foot on 37 gallons. What is the problem? Everything seems normal no fuel leaks the I know of..... fpr screen and fuel filter are clean and in good condition. Any info would be appreciated. I drive alot almost all in city but do drive very hard. Need help THANKS

Check your air filter. Also to ulsd will cause mpg loss.

I thought the 96's only held 35 gallons, front 20 and rear 15? The big tires and the 4:10 rear end will also cut down on efficiency?

air filter has less than 1000 miles its fine. Building ok boost maybe a tiny bit low 20-21psi full throttle with just me in it
