I want to see if I can double the factory fuel economy. I started a facebook page, if you care the name for that is MPGranger, as well. Right now all I have done to the truck is a drop-in K&N air filter and a magnaflow muffler. Last fill up I was sitting at 27.2 MPG. My drive to work is 10 miles of 65mph highway and 6 miles of construction hell. I am going to have the oil changed soon and I plan to put in the lightest weight synthetic oil.

Big question, does anybody suggest using fuel additives to increase MPG? Do they actually clean your engine as they suggest? Are they cost effective?
