04 1500 crew cab with 4.7 and a Tornado! 17.6 MPG. Up almost 2 MPG by adding the Tornado. Plus a lot more low end throttle response immediately obvious after installing the Tornado.

Also, just a little information that may be helpful. Using current gas prices and my current mileage, I calculated out the cost per mile from the MPG and what I paid at the pump. It is actually more economical for me to buy the EXPENSIVE higher-octane Supreme gas than the regular. It hurts when I fork out the cash at the gas station, but the numbers don't lie. It's about a 1 to 1.5 cent per mile improvement for me. And when every dollar counts, every little bit helps.

Of course actual mileage may vary. Not applicable in all vehicles. Not valid in Alaska and Hawaii.... blah blah blah.

ALSO!!! Can anyone recommend a Cold Air Intake that'll fit my 4.7 that isn't $300?????

FYI

04 hemi, QC, 17s, 3.73 K&N drop in

14.5 avg

Have seen as much as 21 mpg on a 350 mile trip at 70mph. That was reseting the mpg at the pump till I pulled in the drive. I have checked the computer reading to the manual reading several times and it has always been within .1 of the actual milage.

8mpg pulling 24' camper at 65mph


Does anyone have 17 inch wheels with 3.90 or steeper gears? how did that effect you milage?
