No, I'm on a tight budget. I'll post results on each of the mods. I'm trying to stay 50 states legal. I'd like to get better fuel mileage but I don't want to break the law.

Yeah, I'm with you there. I'm also pressed for time. I build power lines. This job in Missouri is scheduled to wrap up by June 1st. Then I'll be going across the country, probably to California. So I needed to do the mods before then.

I sold a guitar and had a budget of $1300.

The quicker I start getting better fuel mileage, the sooner I get a return on what I spent. You know, pulling a 5th wheel can get expensive.

At the moment, I'm getting around 18 hwy mpg (although I added some PS cetane booster/ injector cleaner and I was getting 21 hwy) and 16.5 mpg partial city/ partial rural 55 mph limit back roads.

Oh yeah, lol. I get around 9.5 pulling. I have to add, I get that mileage I said earlier by really trying to be easy on the throttle. Economy is my main concern.
