low mpgs, mods didnt help
My 02 has about the same mods, volant intake, magnaflow exhaust, chipped, throttle body spacer, running 35s, yadda yadda, and i average about 14.
My 95, with 168,000 miles on it still averages around 20, while running 33's.

I average 9 MPG. The truck stays in town 99% of the time and only does short trips 15 mins or less. I doubt the truck even warms up to proper operating temp. I only fill up every 8-10 days so I really cant complain.
yea i fill up somewhere between every 5 to 7 days. I just dont get how the mpgs has gone down from what it was if the mods are supposed to help? Im running aftermarket wheels, so thats not helping
Thats the problem with mods........they dont aid in mpg increase, they aid in a decrease IMO. This topic has been beat to death and I still cant be convinced that a tuner or CAI will make any increases in the mpg department. Tuners are great for shifts and WOT! Bigger tires will decrease quite a bit too. Maybe think about selling the mods and bring it back to stock if you want to get the mpg's back up? Otherwise, your probably SOL. Good luck and I am happy in the stock club. My numbers are near what you were getting. 13/15 city and 16/18 highway. On a better note the truck looks bitchin' and probably sounds awesome. That in itself would be worth the small decrease in fuel
