MPG Increase Projects - 04 Dodge Sprinter
Updated: Nov 14, 2019
This is going to be an ongoing post as I attempt to increase my MPG on my 2004 Dodge Sprinter (140 wheelbase, passenger, high roof). I have noticed that over the years I have owned it the MPGs have decreased and although that is to be expected with the added weight I would like to address what I can to increase it. So I have compiled a working list of what I have done and what I plan to do to it to help increase MPG.
