For the first time in a long time, maybe even forever, everyone in the country finally all agree on one thing; fuel prices are just ridiculous! Everyone is talking about it, and everyone is trying to figure out how to get the most out of each gallon of fuel. Bully Dog is here to help with a number of tried and true tips and tricks.
1: Evaluate how you drive: Habits like accelerating too quickly, speeding up to stop signs/lights, and driving fast all affect fuel mileage in a negative way. Most of the time these habits, like all bad habits are hard to break. As you drive each day think about your driving habits and think about what driving habits you can change with very little effort.
2: Vehicle maintenance/upkeep: A vehicle that is taken care of and maintained performs better and gets better fuel mileage. Have each of these systems checked on a regular basis:
- a. Air filter - Keep it clean
- b. Fuel filter - Keep it clean
- c. Fuel pump - Confirm that it is operating properly
- d. Tires & tire pressure - Make sure they are in good shape and inflated properly
- e. Spark Plugs - Keep them clean or replace on gasoline engines.
3: Clean out your Vehicle: Weight will always reduce your fuel mileage, so keep your vehicle clean; whether it be trash or simply unneeded objects or maybe you were just to lazy to remove the box of treasure you found at the swap meet last weekend. If it does not need to be in the vehicle, remove it!
4: After market products: Quality after market products from companies like Bully Dog can add additional fuel economy. All of the following products have been proven to add addition fuel economy to vehicles if the vehicle is driven the same way that it was driven before installing the after market products:
In addition to these tips, Bully Dog can offer you a little more. For the last 10 years or so, Bully Dog has manufactured performance products that also increase fuel mileage when used correctly.

Diesel engines are known for their power and fuel efficiency, which makes them perfect for the working man or woman. Anyone who wants the most durable truck possible, one capable of carrying and towing the heaviest loads, needs a diesel truck. Although diesel engines are inherently superior to gas engines for heavy work, performance can always be improved.
Naturally, not all performance enhancing accessories work on every brand of truck. Edge Products, for example, manufactures several different models of its Juice Module, one for each different truck manufacturer and engine type. The Juice Module can improve horsepower, increase torque, and improve fuel efficiency for almost any truck. Another popular product line is the Predator Performance Series. In addition to increasing power and fuel efficiency, this add-on lengthens engine life and results in cleaner emissions, among several other benefits. These are only two examples of products sold here at TruckAddons.com that will improve diesel performance.

The Smarty and Smarty Jr. tuners from Mads Electronics are both very popular options for Dodge Cummins diesel pickup trucks. MADS Electronics herby CLAIMS that SmartyCR is the FIRST AND ONLY downloader that does not erase any of the stored data in the ECM. Smarty does NOT set ANY codes once the ECM is set back to stock. The MADS Electronics tuning software is well known as CaTCHER software. MADS Electronics original products were EPROMs and Flash-EPROMs (or “chips”) which could be installed in place of the original OEM EPROMs and Flash-EPROMs located in the vehicle’s on-board control module. These chips, just like the tuners of today, keep the entire vehicle safety and emissions systems intact, but modify the fuel injection settings to deliver dramatic power, torque and drivability improvements.
