Thanks everyone, I'll try slowing down first. haha......maybe. I looking at taking the $500 I had an putting it toward a tuner. Instead I ended up buying a Glock 17 Gen 3 for $479. It's not something I plan on having as my CCW but I thought it was a good deal.
Thanks for all the input.

Hard to beat a G17, but not a ccw gun lol. Try the G26 or what I ccw S&W Shield, great little gun.

Why not carry a G17? I do with 2 extra mags and E2D on my belt. I've carried my USP Tactical with 2 extra mags before, but my waist size was a little smaller.

1) Buy a block of wood and stick under gas pedal
2) lower truck
3) find the tires with lowest rolling resistant and lowest weight
4) pure gas
5) leave off everything, don't turn on anything electrical, or use AC. Less load on the alternator and battery will save fuel.
6) get rid of any extra weight, maybe go on a diet?
7) realize if you really cared about mpg you would have bought a fiesta, and just enjoy the truck.
Just realized you want need a reason to explain the mods to your wife, I am guessing...
Look honey the bigger turbos spin slower making it more fuel efficient, it will save us money. I just need the exhaust and intake to go with it so it can save us money and think of the environment.
