With the CAI, stock tires and the superchips tuner I averaged 18.99 mpg from Virginia to Yellowstone Wyoming and back, 5500 miles. If I slow down to 60 or under I get 22mpg, however when I put my BFG's on the best I can muster is 18.

Winter fuel is less efficient as well as warming up the truck cost mileage. I'm averaging about 16.9 right now. K&N drop-in filter. No real gains from the whole $300+ kit except the moaning noise. I have the same power and mileage with the Hemi hat or the Airaid MIT.
