Frank, he said the following:

"I wanted to share the fact that putting a cheap glass pack on my truck has already paid for itself because of its instant feedback from engine RPMs. I know that you have the tachometer, but with this exhaust setup, it's really annoying to drive at an inefficient speed on the highway."

So he's not saying the open exhaust gave him MPG's directly, just indirectly via feedback.

EDIT: And no, that wasn't intended to sound dickish!
