So I drive a 95 1500 with the 360 I get absolute trash mpg. I don't expect much out of it but I'm getting like 4 maybe 5 mpg. It runs so rich it's ridiculous I bought new autolite 3924 plugs haven't installed them yet but what else could I do to maybe boost mileage?

Figure out why it's dumping fuel to start with. Make sure you have no exhaust leaks before or at the O2 sensor and make sure the sensor is functioning correctly.

I had a big block 1st Gen W200 Power Wagon, which got up to 15 mpg. That should give you some perspective. Something is terribly wrong with your truck. Could be a lot of different reasons.Maybe you could tell us what it isn't easier.
