I would change the filter, Do you have an aftermarket intake? most people just run the "BHAF" that could be why they get better mpg, also your timming and injectors could have influence on mpg. I would run some cetain boost. i like the one in the grey bottle. BTW-My tuck says it has 3:50 gear ratio on the tag under the hood. I thought they only offered 3:23, 3:54, 3:73,4:10,4"56? Is that a misprint?

You can get it at the parts house around here. I'm not sure if you'll be able to tell the difference or not, but then again the stuff doesn't cost all that much...it may be worth a couple bucks to you to find out what it does for your particular set-up .
