    Good info man, thanks ! Definitely been more mindful of my driving habits and noticing improvements. Gonna try higher octane and increasing PSI and do the chalk test for city driving. Also haven’t had a first oil change yet but I’ve heard some say threat somehow helped a little… I may also try the new K&N intake, more air should help too

    What’s the weight of those load e monsters? 65? How much are the wheels?

    you can’t add 30-40lbs per corner plus lift etc and not get killed on mpg ,

    just drive it and let it rip , otherwise it defeats the purpose of adding all that

    Yeah, you might see a bump once the engine is broken in. I've never had that in any of my previous gas engines, but my Tundra's engine starting getting about 1mpg better after 10k miles.

    A cold air intake or aftermarket filter isn't going to do anything. Today's OEM filters are already very unrestrictive to optimize for best fuel economy. The air intake would have to be very restricted before you saw any gains from the engine having to work less hard to pull air in. Your engine will always adjust to the optimal fuel/air ratio, so more air will just mean more fuel and you'll still be getting the same MPGs. Besides, a less restrictive filter will also be a less efficient filter. You want to increase the dust/dirt/crap that your engine eats?
