keeping tires inflated properly is important too.

few folks ask when they get tires what will get the best rolling resistance. Most are looking for something else, looks, mudders, snow, cheap...

OK, I just purchased a 2002, 7.3, 4WD, I got 23 on the first half tank I ran through it, now I am afraid to touch anything on it. This was pretty much a mix of in town and highway

Make sure when you fill up too, that you fill it all the way to the top. Alot of times when I am filling, the first time it kicks off, I can still get 4-5 more gallons in before I can see fluid. If you did not do this, you will be showing higher MPG numbers.
