I get the truck back from the bodyshop tomorrow at 10. then on Saturday I'll have 90ish miles to run the tonneau cover. Im not sure its worth filling up before/after both ways for such a short term trip.

I'll be installed an billet aluminum wheel with drastic changes in the fins for a faster spool time, a high flow outlet, and about 5psi boost. I don't think it will help fuel economy but I bought it before the ecomodder hobby became more realistic.

According to Big Dave the exhaust back pressure delete will help in the winter at least. Its a little butterfly valve that restricts air flow to promote warm ups but its constantly prone to failing (not opening/closing all the way) and causing an oil leak. so it may be small but: less throttle, faster spool times, reduced egts, free-er flow should help even if its ever so small lol. I'll post pics.
