Down in OK though, I've found that Conco or Phillips works the best for me. (Nice thing about them is it's still optional to run 10% blends)

Hey guys, this is my first post. Im not pullin more then 300ish to a tank, so thats right around 11-12.

I have an 01 1500 on 265/75/r16s,with the 5.2 Magnum not too sure of the mods cause i bought it in Feb of 09, but it has dual exhaust. Any recomendations on some mods to help with gas mileage? Also the engine is pretty gutless, just broke 100k miles!
