Links Below: How to significantly improve fuel economy of a 2002 F150 with the 5.4 2V engine from an EPA highway rating of 16 to a real world 22 mpg. These modifications will work on the 4.6 2V engine or any vehicle with a similar set-up.

CORRECTION: I mentioned '94 Mustang Cobra Water Pump & should have said '04 Mustang Cobra Water Pump.
