also dont be like abels and go ***** to the wall on throttle!

jk abels! haha

 

So why do these forums get into heated discussions lol?

 

b.c everone has their opinion, some like CAI and exhaust combo, other keep it stock and claim better mpg. but keeping it maintained is ur best bet.

 

because some people know everything...

You gotta remember if you buy an intake, where or how long is the return on investment. Even if you gained 2mpg how long is it going to make back the money you just spent on it. And I doubt you will gain more then .5 mpg.

 

I traded my R/T in on a Hemi Magnum. Went from 15 -17 mpg on the highway to 26 mpg and gained 90hp.

 

also all these discussions u also have to take in climate and altitude.
i just filled up and got 18.3mpg where as during the winter i get 14-15
got cai, exhaust, sct, and a fairly heavy foot lol
at sea level as well, in theory shouldn't i see the best gas mileage because air is denser here and weather isn't too extreme bout 30-40 in winter 70s in spring and 90s in summer

 

Don't buy a CAI/exhaust for the added gas mileage, unless you drive at WOT often. If you do that, you shouldn't be worried about gas mileage.

 

I switched to synthetic on my last oil change and went from 14 to 15. Seeing if i can get little more that's why i was askin bout cold air intake if its just gonna give me like 1 better than i dunno if i wanna pay for it. First i'm gonna tune up everything see if that does anything.

 

yea i probaly average 15. in the winter it goes way done if i have to use 4wd alot.
but like i said if ur gonna drop money on a exaust do it cause u want a loud exaust.
not for a gain in mpg. u might want to look into a tuner some have gas saveing settings. but nothings 100%

 

Don't fill your gas tank competely up when you refuel. My truck was averaging 12-12.5 mpg running from a full tank to near empty. Lately I have only been putting in 10 gallons of fuel at a time and it has my mpg up above 14 now. Not a huge increase, but every bit helps.

Search google for hypermiling techniques also.
