LOL! Seriously though...There isn't much you can do to improve it. CAI/Exhaust may yield you a couple MPGs (doubtful) and that's if you can keep your foot out of it once you do it. Plus the amount of money you'll spend ($1000+) just to gain maybe 1MPG...well it's not really cost effective unless you just want that shit on your truck.

12000 Miles a Year average @17mpg=705gal of fuel

705gal of fuel @ $2.50/gal=$1762.50

12000 Miles a Year average @18mpg=667gal of fuel

667gal of fuel @ $2.50/gal=$1667.50


So it'd only take about 10 years for that to start paying off for you.



HTH

Hm. I was told in the past cold air intakes increased gas mileage more than that. Lol what's the purpose of one then

By itself, it's pretty worthless. Makes the engine sound a little "meaner" cuz you can hear the air being pulled into the throttle body. To be effective you really have to go through and do the exhaust, but at that point it's pretty much just for performance and your mileage will most likely go down.

This is what happens when you put a supercharger, intake, exhaust, tuner, gears, etc etc on



That "...but babe I'll get better gas mileage" is just to get the wife to agree it's a good purchase. LOL
