99 4.6L, 4X4, 5spd manual... I get about 13mpg. My only real mod is a trail nobby duratrac tire. They're 265s/70s I believe, about 30" tall. Not a big tire, but I'm sure they're heavy has hell, with chrome steel rims (I didn't put them on there, but they do look good).

97 with 4.2 and slightly larger tires. i can consistently range between 16-20mpg of mixed city/hwy..
The best fuel saving thing you can add to your truck is a Ultraguage or a scanguageII or another gauge that will give you real time fuel readings and adjust your driving styles.. When i put my ultraguage in it had pretty much paid for itself within 2 months. Went from filling up every 2 weeks to once a month or more same driving.

Hard to hug something that doesn't exist.
Sorry but 7" lift with 34.5"x13" tires and it somehow gets several mpg more than stock on the highway? Right.
That's a lot of wind resistance and rolling resistance added to an equation to somehow come out with a higher number than before.
Must be the K&N
