You could still do: Free flowing exhaust. E-fans. Ramair, Lowered suspension with airdams, Smaller higher pressure tires with ultra light weight rims. Manual tranny conversion.
I'd guess you'd get a feew more mpgs from all that.
The cool thing about increasing efficiency is it also liberates performance.
Edit: forgot some...underdrive pulleys. port/polish heads and intake, roller rockers, and much more lol

Must not have looked that hard.
Rather than posting a lot, perhaps you should spend time honing your search skills.
Questions are fine; however, using existing topics would benefit everyone

I'm running about 8.5 - 9 mpg for in town driving.
2001 5.9 4x4, running stock sized 265/75/R16's (downsized from previous owners 285's) 3.55 gears
Replaced TPS, IAT, O2 Sensors with NGK
Tranny fluid & filter twice
Regular Oil changes
Hughes Plenum fix
several vacuum leaks fixed
gps check against spedo - fairly close
tried different octanes and stations
SCT tuner, different tunes and octanes
no matter what I do, it won't budge from that unless I do a bunch of highway driving, and then I might hit 11 or so.
I'd like to get it up to 11 in city driving if possible. heck, that would be a 22% increase in mileage, it would save me a heck of a lot at the pump. I'm about tempted to sell this truck on down the line.
