Well what ever you're gonna do check out xtreme 4x4 they have been doing a mpg project with the 5.9

I still say though... It's a 5.9 there is no gas mileage. It wasn't an option with that motor package. lol

well hypermiling is a technique developed by prius owners to max out their cars.
aka drafting, coasting, and cruise control techs

Jeremy might sponsor you. A nicely waxed truck makes it more aerodynamic. You could say Fukken MPG's or something.

haha, I think if we were going to do this we'd start with a vehicle that got better gas mileage to start with. :Wedgie: And.......well - half the hood is covered in plastidip. Hard to wax that! :crazy:

the middle needs less drag vs the sides for aerodynamical reasons
