Should be an MPG thread round here somewhere...

Anyway, Don't waste your money on a CAI. Do the gotts mod. Cheaper, and more effective. Franchi Motorsports can answer all your tuner questions; he deals in SCT tuners. If you haven't already, a re-gear should help out also.

YOU WILL GET 0 MPG INCREASE WITH A CAI AND PROGRAMMER.

Send me the $600+ you're looking to spend and I'll send you a gas card for $10. That will be worth more than the MPG you stand to gain.

Be happy with your 12mpg.

I love you, tackle. No homo. Well, maybe some homo... You bring us so much entertainment, and yet can inform us quite well at the same time.

You're like a Jedi. I decided to up the ante after I posted but you quoted me too soon.

I figured $10 might make it seem more like a deal than $5.

Double digits always makes it seem better, even if your ripping off the guy worse then the level of stupidity here. Not talking to the OP, but the genius who thought he could go faster with a lowered truck...

Hmm.

I have an Edge cs with pod. I get 6 mpg better with it. It has a custom tune no one else has tried. I will only sell for $800.

Switch to eletric fans.. Do the gotts mod intake. Cut your muffler off or get a cheap used flowmaster. If you want to spend the money get long tube headers.
