Default What saves you guys gas?

I am thinking of putting a K & N air filter ( not CAI) just the filter. I have heard pros and cons about it and I wanted to get some feedback on it. Also any tips to save gas would be helpful. Thanks.

I have the drop in and have noticed absolutely no difference with it, IMO it was a waste of money, i will be getting a CAI this summer. As for gas saving tips, tuner, exhaust, CAI, tonneau cover, keeping the foot out of the gas....

i always see people go flying at red lights then slamming on the gas. if a light goes red, i take my foot of the gas and just roll up, or in my other car i just drop it in neutral.

Tonneau covers cut wind resistance caused by the tailgate. My mpg went up significantly after installing one. And also what NJMandCEM said: stay at home

By replacing the factory muffler with a Magnaflow muffler and installing the Superchips flashpaq (91 octane performance setting) I went from 10.6 m.p.g. to 11.5 m.p.g. This is per the overhead computer.

HankL, killer of threads. Not saying that's terrible, I think everyone just gets completely bombarded with a flood of info and all traffic stops.

In a nutshell, don't drive it like you stole it. Me, I'll keep driving it like I stole it.
