Fuel Economy
I have a 03 Dodge Ram 4.7 STL QuadCab and im onlt getting 13.3 mpg. My friend has a one of these big Infiniti SUVs and is getting like 16-17 mpg...
Im wondering if there is a way to increase the gas mileage... i know you can get a intake or exhaust, but which ones are the best?
Any suggesting or comments will be appreciated. Thanks

RE: Fuel Economy
Whit has a point. Adding things like a CAI and exhaust will help out. Try putting a bed cover on the back. This will add a little to your mileage by reducing the amount of drag on your truck from the wind smashing into your tailgate. One of the cheap vinyl bolt on ones work very well. Check your local parts store for one.

RE: Fuel Economy
we have two 5.9s...a 94 fuel injected magnum and a 83 carbed ramcharger....the 94 is modded, and gets around 10 due to the gearing...the old ramcharger gets around 15, if im lucky...
there has been some excellent advice here, like the CAI and exhaust, as well as a good bed cover...also i suggest things like regular maintenance...things like 3 step engine cleaners improve efficiency...
