This is what I heard on the first episode too. I think he said 0.15 mpg gain from the fan after a couple of tanks in mixed driving which is believeable.
The best way to improve MPG is to go back to stock with the original tiny tires.
But that isn't what the whole was about. It WAS about getting around 20 mpg in a LIFTED truck, not getting the best milage. The electric fans I thought gave around 1/4 mpg extra, but I don't remember everything about the episode. I was just a bit stoked to see a 2nd Gen as a project on a show I watch.
given' the estimates they gave on fuel saving versus the cost of upgrades, it would take over 65,000 miles to even break even. That's a long time for a return on investment.
anyone have the names of the episodes the ram was on....if anyone does, im just going to buy them on itunes.$1.99 a piece is worth knowing how to get 20mpg's
