I have tested different setups and i have found a way to increase mpg out of dodge products. the best results come from the v8's (5.2,5.9,4.7 & 5.7) you can use this application in v6's (2.7,3.5,3.6) but not as good in result.

i have a 2003 dodge ram 4.7l v8 and i currently get 20 mpg http://www.fuelly.com/car/dodge/ram_...3/plus4/206717... and i haven't lost horsepower or acceleration my best is 23 mpg. its simple process to get more horsepower and mpg.


all you have to do is reduce the load on the motor. my normal load is 4% at start-up and at warm 3% normal city driving 5% to 8% load. freeway 12% to 16% load.
(you can monitor your engine load and real time mpg and your average miles by using ScanGauge below picture)




Normal air filter system is designed to reduce air intake, a cold air intake can rob you of mpg if you don't watch your foot on the pedal. You can take off the normal air filter system back to the Resonator (in-front of your throttle-body if you wish you can remove it but you gain more mpg keeping it on) replace it with a microfiber cloth.

In City i Shift at 1000 to 1500 RPM, On freeway i shift at 1500 to 2000 RPM.

Also if your dodge has 20" inch rims those rob you of 3 to 4mpg easy it adds alot of rolling resistance.

Keep:
Resonator



Remove:
Upper cover Air Box


Air Filter element

Replace with:
MircoFiber Cloth 75/25 Blend

Paper (cellulose) - Most common (below).
May clog faster than synthetic. Will expand and restrict flow when wet.


Oiled Cotton - K&N and others. (below)
Better flow, less filtering.


MicroFiber (below)
Better airflow and filtering. The revolutionary technology and effectiveness of the microfiber lies in the construction of each strand. Each microscopic strand of microfiber has been split, creating millions of tiny hooks that attract, absorb and remove all kinds of dirt, dust and bacteria. Each strand of fiber is shaped like a wedge, trapping the dirt until it is washed. Since the dirt gets trapped in the fibers, the same microfiber cloth or mop head can be used for a longer period of time cleaning larger surface areas before having to be laundered. Each square inch of microfiber contains approximately 90,000 fibers.

 

ok. thanks....

 

As of June 30th i was at this trip

Now i am as of July 3rd i am currently at

 

i have and 04 4.7 getting 15 on hwy put on chip and a turbo wheel in my air pipe close to in take nothing changed

 

So you did a chip mod and added a turbo and did a air pipe? Can you please provide a litte more information or pictures

 

Is this a joke? Tell me this is a joke.

 

Its natural to be skeptic of this, why not try it. Got nothing to lose lol but I can understand being scared to try it.

 

Aside from the second photo being blurred, what is it you're claiming, and where is the data that supports your hypothesis?

 

That many days and you haven't fixed your burnt out lamp or filled your washer fluid but you could afford cheese cloth to give better fuel mileage.
Cool.
So take off my system and install a cheese cloth. Hmm... nope.
Im scared. Ooooh scary. Lmao.

 

I used scangauge which monitors data in my "hypothesis",lol lamp and low washer fluid wasnt a concern to me.
