I don't drive beyond 5000 RPM when I have my fun so I figured the TPI intake was a perfect fit.

How the heck are you achieving 46 mpg on a 4.11 gear ratio?! Even when my car was in the best of shape I never could achieve that kind of mileage, and I have tried everything from detuning and experimenting with sucking in hot engine bay air to try to improve my mileage. How?!
An engine kill switch, pulse and glide, and low top speeds. Conserving momentum?

There's a member on here who had a greater than 55mpg tank out of (if I remember correctly) an F250, or maybe it was a Ram 2500.

It's possible to get amazing numbers if you're willing to adapt your driving, but the moment you get on the gas, your economy will plummet.
