Oddly today, a good friend of mine is getting better gas mileage on his 2012 Ford Fusion 3.5 Liter engine since he replaced only the Alternator with a high output Alternator. His alternator was originally week for a month or so and he was getting real bad fuel economy, till he changed it today because his battery died.... Is this possible, and this is all he changed?
He found this out from his onboard fuel computer in the car, as he went from 10 mpg originally on the older alternator, to 19 mpg now with the new higher output alternator. I shit you not. This is very weird indeed.
If so I'm thinking of getting a higher output Alternator for my 93 Ranger 4.0l. It's due for one soon.
