How to Get Better Gas Mileage

When considering options to increase miles per gallon for your small block Chevy’s there are many aftermarket “add on” parts or replacement parts for small block Chevy engines that you should look into.   Some of the most common fuel mileage adders are programmers.  If that is the path you are thinking of taking there are multiple brands to choose from, brands such as Superchips, Bully Dog, and Hypertech.  These programmers can gain your vehicle 2-3 more miles per gallon depending on the persons driving style.  Superchips seem to be the most popular for the small block Chevy engine.  After making the decision and purchase, I recommend that if you are not knowledgeable about the vehicle you have someone install the programmer for you. Having someone install the programmer for you will help to ensure that it is properly installed and will give the best results.  A throttle body spacer is a popular add-on for this engine also.  They are also fairly easy to install, but you may still want to seek help for installation.  The throttle body spacer will increase fuel mileage a little but the programmer is definitely better, and will give you better results.  The programmers are more expensive than the throttle body spacers but will most likely save you more money in the long run.
