you will get your money back at the pump

badaz907,

If you had a scangauge you might know why you only got 1 mpg better
mine has already paid me back just over the summer

If i could only have one mod - it would be a scangauge
I have used it to teach my self to drive better (I am now one with the truck)
and it has helped me diagnose problems with engine and transmission

as for the FE
you could be right - might be short hauls costing you
my truck is neg 10-20% FE until warmed up (learned that with a scangauge too )
I'm sure my issue is an ECU warm up mode
If that is true for you too, you might want to try slowly blocking up the grill
