Put the $500 towards a Powerful sound system and get ready for more time on the road by reducing speed(Fuel Economy).

He could point the speakers towards the rear, more thrust and better mileage!

Inflate tires to 37psi, and turn off trailer sway if you have it in your truck. I get 18.5 around town in my 14 Stx. And you have to turn off trailer sway everyone you turn on the truck. It defaults to on

Turning off sway control does make a difference.

Huge difference. Annoying that you can’t default it to off however. It’s tied into the traction control system so federally, it’s not allowed to default to off.

@Tom so I have to turn it off Everytime I start the truck?

Yes unfortunately, but if you get in the habit of doing it it is not a big deal. But it does make a huge difference in performance and mpg.

$2.89 and maybe increase my mpg from 16 to 20! Is that unrealistic?

For a $500 investment and a 4 mpg increase, you would break even after driving 13,841 miles.

And asking for a 25% increase is huge

4mpg is insane. Even diesel that get more noticible gains don’t get on that level

Call me crazy, but I don’t drive a truck for fuel mileage.

I’ve got a 2012 5.0 supercrew, rolling 35s, and i get maybe 12mpg around town and 15mpg on the highway. I’m not complaining one bit. If i want better mileage, I’ll buy another car, and keep my damn truck

Nothing wrong with wanting better had millage guys. I just keep my rig well maintained keep the pressure on my tires up. I have two sets of tires; one for everyday driving and a more aggressive tire for looks. Good luck

Tuners don’t really do that much for naturally aspirated gas engines. Shoulda bought a Ecoboost.

Get a better air filter. Keep tires inflated Use Chevron gasoline and don’t speed and keep the idling down. Get a bed cover I hear that can increase mpg… That’s my best advice.
