Any expensive gadget is going to take forever to pay itself off; do the math first before investing in a propane setup.

Those things aren't very aerodynamic. Look in to what you can do to fix that.

I'd suggest starting with a grill block, warm air intake and looking into seeing if anyone does an economy tune for it. If not then consider tricking it with sensor mods.

Of course you can start by pumping your tires to their limit as per what's stamped on the sidewall. And make sure your alignment is good; both will reduce rolling resistance.

I'd think hills could be good for MPG...you get to run WOT up the hill, or close, where you engine is most efficient, and then you get to coast down the other side. Pulse and glide at it's fullest...?
