Well I heard if you pull in your tow mirrors when on the highway it effects the forward thrust of the trans-dimentional stabilizer that exists only in certain vehicles to the point of increasing your fuel mileage by .00001249% which is equivilent to B.S. LMAO If your bought a diesel and your worried about the price of diesel or hw to squeeze .5 more mpg maybe you should be driving a PRIUS. BLAH BLAH BLAH.....I read 3-4 threads last night on mpg, what a pile. Not bashing you at all Dustin....OK maybe a little, LOL

Dustin That was a great thing to do for the lady in the Military.........It will mean a lot to her......

Hello all whats going on.....

I could see doing mods that will increase your mileage 2-3 mpg but for anything under that why bother.....That is why I was hoping a 6 speed or a gear vendors overdrive would have helped by at least that much.
