Around town, the 3.55's are worse for mpg than 3.92's because it takes more throttle to get rolling. I drive approx 65% hwy and 35% city on my 72 mile a day round trip to work. I don't drive real easy and it is fairly hilly on the interstate. Running 93 octane fuel with a 93 octane DSP tune with the mds turned off, I averaged 18.6mpg on my last tank doing the math (not the overhead display). My only other mods are a K&N drop-in filter, Airaid MIT pipe and a Magnaflow cat-back. I also have a soft bed cover, but never saw any gain from it either.

Blacksport, you might see a little gain if you removed the power wire. They do richen the fuel mixture a bit.

Find a station that has ethanol free gas. You will gain 2 - 2.5 mpg city. It costs more per gallon, but your hemi will love you for it. And so will your wallet when your fuel system stays happy too.

Not possible, it's 10%+ ethanol around here.

Yeah, I actually took it off a couple of days ago and I'll see if that helps, but I thought it only richens the mixture at WOT only?
