what do you get? and what size motor and type of trans. I have a 02 ex cab 2wd 3.0 with a manual and i get about 19-20 around town depending on traffic and 22 on the highway going 75, and most reciently i got 26 on the highway averaging 60mph. A/C on or off doesnt make a difference. Your speed definately does, and how much you mash te gas. I added a flowaster and a K&N since i bought the truck. I made no difference in economy but help a little performance wise. maybe 10-15 HP for the 2 items together.
