ive seen up to 24mpg on the highway(MDS) and im getting between high 13's and low 15's around town depending on my driving. most of the time is pretty heavy, but if i take it easy it seems alright. the mid grade shell gas seems to work best in my truck as far as mpg goes.

24mpg? Is that going downhill, or with a 50mph wind at your back?

Sorry Brother, but I'm raising the BS flag on that. I've gotten 18.3 on my very best day. But as for the CAI I don't think it did anything for me. But that might be me leaning on it as I love the sound. I feel the CAI is a mod that adds to the other mods to allow everything to work better. Good luck...

It makes a whole lot of noise and that is about it. I have a CAI, cat-back exhaust and a SC and nothing has made a difference because now I can't stay off the pedel.
