i would do water/ meth injection. it helps clean the engine, runs cooler, and isn't harmful to the engine like propane.

Water/Meth can be just has harmful and doesn't provide much if any MPG gains.

Like James said if you want even 20+ MPG buy a car

a buddy of mine has a 6.6 dirtymax and he just has an edge in it and put water/meth and his mileage went up from 16-17 to 19-22

IMO intake exhaust and tuned and that's about the MPG's that you will get... water meth is great for EGT controlling. Propane is great for bbq'ing. You might help yourself by switching from split shot injectors to single shot injectors... But when it's all said and done, you are still driving an 8k lb diesel pick up. Driving style is also a major factor in MPG's..

I know I'm not helping... Just throwing in my .02
