Default 2003 1500 4.7 Gas Milage

Hello Everyone i just got rid of my 91 F250 for my 2003 Ram 1500 4.7 Quad, and i am wondering about gas milage and how to improve it.
K&N Filters? Do they Help and how well at what Price
Exhaust Upgrades? Do they Help and how well? What Suggested Brand
Bed Cover I think that is a standard Yes it helps
Computer Chips? I have no idea about CHips at all
And does any of these void my factory warranty?
Thanks
Nitrox

I have a flowmaster cat back and air raid cai. I get 11.5mpg around town on average. Welcome to the world of poor fuel economy

My buddy bought a 4x4 QC 4.7 at the same time I bought my HEMI QC 4x2. We both average around 14.5mpg in mixed driving.

I get 22.5 with my tiny unworthy pitiful V-6. If you are concerned about gas economy you got the wrong truck! If it's any consolation the Hemi is even worse.

Hemi gets one point less on city and highway as per EPA ratings. In my opinion that isn't even an issue when 100 HP, and a 'free' automatic is at stake.
