Look up the intake product Tornado. That's a sure fire way to increase your MPG by 25%, your HP by 10% and decrease your wallet by $25....for nothing.
I get over 20 MPG on the highway, 17 to 18 in town, and 9 towing a 32 foot trailer..........its a TRUCK, not an economy car, so we get kinda' what we expected, right?
It will be interesting to see if my new tonneau cover (Extang Solid Fold) helps the MPG at all........claim is 10% ---(see Tornado claims above for accuracy check!!)

Tape a block to the backside of the gas pedal.

actually your getting infinit MPGs as the engine shuts down the fuel injectors using no fuel but the display only goes up to 99mpg. LOL I agree drive only downhill you get awsome MPGS

I am impressed with the fuel economy that I am getting!! 13L/100km mixed driving. I'll never complain about that!! My buddy with an '06 Dodge Hemi is getting 18L/100km. He drives the snot out of it at times though and I drive like an old man (or so I have been told) It's a game for me though! Change my driving habits to see what I get!
