v8 gas mileage

[98v8jeep]

i just got my v8 jeep friday and i've spent 37$ in 3 days, about 123 miles. i know v8s take a lot of gas and i've been in v8 jeeps b4 for hours and havent used a lot of gas. whats wrong or how can i fix that? thanx

well.......gas prices these days is a good way to blow that much money, other than that....hmmm, have you done anything to adjust the throtle body? are the plugs fowled? is the airfilter good? is your o2 sensor caked up with mud? check a lot of the obvious and maybe give it a good tune up, bc i think u said u got it in an auction.....so i would make sure everything is in good shape.

:USA: i had the k&n intake which boast 26 bolt on horse power complete waste of money started cracking after 6 months then the rubber around the drum filter started to fall apart no horsepower no better gas mileage i have also had the jacobs omni spark ignition pro package and the jet module for the computer none of these add ons did any good in fact after returning these items for replacements same problems still existed including multiple miss firing and ultimately screwed up my engine so bad i had to replace it i spent 900$ on to good to be true upgrades and thats what they are after that i got to spend 4k on a new motor stick to whats on the menu when it comes to your engine or you'll find out the exspensive way like i did good luck
