The key to getting fuel milage out of these trucks is to keep your foot out of it! The way I understand it, a more powerfull truck dosen't has to work as hard to perform a given task, and will return better economy because it can just lope along, while the lesser engine would be running as hard as it could. I have never lost any milage with any of my mods, and have seen decent improvements when I can keep my foot out of it! Good luck
