I might be taking a 400+ mile road trip in the Fox down to Southern California. I know 5.0's are not known for having the greatest gas mileage, & H/C/I, 14 degrees timing, 24's, 255 lph pump, & gears don't help much. My speedo is currently off because I still need the correct speedo gear, but my car seems like it gets pretty horrible gas mileage. My question is, would it be worth it for me to turn the timing back down to 10 degrees, & would this improve my gas mileage? Also, would I be able to run 87 octane safely with my setup & stock timing?
Thanks in advance...
