I have a 97 Dodge Ram 1500, extended cab, 5.9 liter, cold air intake and a hypertech max energy programmer, but it only gets 8 MPG.
Can anybody help me on what I can do to get better gas mileage?

 

I have a 1999 Ram 1500, I was getting around 16 mpg before I installed coldair intake, throttle body spacer, and a racing chip. All of them were suppose to save me gas but in the end lowered my mpg to roughly 10 mpg, but horse power is incredible now lol.

 

lol o snap my cold air bumped up 1 the hypertech programmer didnt do anything i bought a tornado for the inside of my intake didnt do anything im going to buy a electric fan a throttle body space was the throttle body spacer a hard thing to do?

 

no throttle body spacers are very easy i did one on my 96 2500 it only takes about 10 minutes to install

 

and do absolutely nothing to your intake or power. as others call it, 'an expensive paper weight'

 

what can i put on my dodge to get as much power out of it and a little better MPG im ganna put a full exhaust on anything else that i could put on myself?
