I need to reduce my high speed MPG. I waste a lot of gas in the summer from running the AC. It is so hot here! I turn it off while accelerating from a stop but otherwise it says on all the time lately (85F in the morning, 105F in the daytime).

I do not have to stomp the gas like I used to in order to hit 75 after mods so far.

The truck is a 5 speed manual.

Next thing I might try is adding some extra air to the tires. They are at factory recommendation now. I don't want a rough ride however. I am already pushing that envelope after lowering it. Still tuning the bump stops.
