Have you asked Krusty what his average fuel mileage has been since? Going due east (tailwind) and dropping 900' in elevation over 82 miles, it is possible to get a high one time mpg reading. What did he get on the way back?

Personally, if you want better average fuel mileage get 3.08 or 2.73 gears, 6speed manual transmission in addition to the other stuff you want to do.

Just realize you can't just throw a bunch of parts on a vehicle, drive it like you always did and expect to get great fuel mileage. Drive it like there's an egg under the gas petal (that's the common saying in every diesel forum I've ever been on) for better fuel mileage. Good luck.
