Dont take this as ignorance but as gaining knowledge

OK. I've touched on this subject a bit in another thread, but it wasnt the focal point of it. So here we go....

Now I want to know all the tricks of the trade to squeezing all the MPG's i can out of this beast of a truck. I did the math and currently getting 8.8mpg. Like i said IM NOT IGNORANT I KNOW THESE TRUCKS ARE GUZZLERS! So just know that. But im a firm believer that just cause its not a drastic change doesnt mean it shouldnt be done. So the obvious one is Air intake, a K&N isnt a bad idea ever. Tires being inflated at the correct PSI, and keeping the foot off the floor. BUT driving style aside. Lets talk some inexpensive and easy ways to get some more MPG's out of these things!
