what about the plenum gasket. that seems to always be the first thing brought up in the 2nd gen ram section when someone pops in asking how to get better gas mileage. i know my 93 ram charger with a 318 and 46RH is getting 18 mpg running straight hi way and about 14-16 doing a mix of city and hi way driving. i also run ethanol free 91 octane gas in my trucks.
