yeah thats what the thread is for, how to increase the fuel mileage!!
As u see K&N filter would give u about 2 mpg but your engine will suck in some dust not worth it. U can get the edge juice with attuide programmer as mentioned by Coco2992, this things will give u additional mpg up to 17%, so i am trying kind of get a list together for the 24V cummins on what to add, build, change or programm in order to increase the MPG on our 4x4s.

I'll add my .02...
Mileage varies greatly depending on driving habits, how the truck is loaded, etc...
I have three second gen VP powered trucks, and none get the same mileage. I have come to expect anywhere from 13 to 18 in town depending on the truck, and 17 to 23 on the highway. Experience has also taught me that mods don't really improve mileage any; instead I have achieved greater HP for roughly the same mileage. On the '01 in my sig, I started out at 17 mpg in town and 19 mpg on the highway, bone stock. I am now at 650HP and still average 15 mpg in town and 18 highway. No matter what I did to the truck, or how I drove, mileage NEVER improved more than 1 mpg for same driving. Just as an FYI, YMMV...
