Default MPG

Hello All,

I was wondering what sort of MPG people are getting. I have a 2k 5.9 R/T, and
I get 9.5 city/ 14 highway.

Maybe, those who are getting better MPG, can let the rest of us know what they are doing, or
what Mods work the best to increase MPG.

Thanks,

R/T [8D]

get a 52mm fastman TB, K&N CAI and a 3" single out flowmaster kit. these will give you a nice boost in power and if you can keep your foot out of it, a boost in mileage

Mine is still stock except for the OEM K&N filter replacement. The K&N stock filter replacement gave me an extra 1 mpg improvement.

Plus I keep my foot as light as possible on the pedal in the past couple months with high price gas!
