Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab SXT 3.7L : Average 18mpg city/hwy combined between fillups. I'd like to put some kind of performance enhancing "something" on it like a cold air intake or one of the inexpensive performance chips. I just need something to milk all the mpg I can out of this thing. I drive 56 miles round trip per day to work and back. Got an idea on what I can get and have paid for before the next ice age strikes?
Anyone hear of or have used the brand PowerBox and their performance module?

Truck in sig gets about 10 mpg in the city but my daily commute is only 3 miles and full of lights so it's not really that fair. Highway on cruise around 73mph is between 17-18mpg. If I can find a secondary highway and drive 60-65 without getting run over by 18 wheelers, I'm running about 19. Towing my trailer is in the 9's. These numbers are all in US gallons for ease of comparison. These years I drive less than 10K a year so I don't worry about mpg improvement. (The truck is an 04' with 48K miles so best to pay the gasman a few extra bucks and not worry about it). If I did I'd still be driving the prius I traded in for the Ram.

05 1500 4x4 with the hemi. I get about 13.5 commuting in the city and about 16.5 on the highway. I can get it up over 17 if I stay around 70 with the cruise on. Recently changed the plugs as i just bought the truck a few months back and dang those suckas were shot to hell. Got about 1.5 mpg back across the board to get me back to normal range.
