Gonna be tough getting any sort of decent mpg from that beast. Good luck.

Lose the CAI. Maybe some sort of aero cap.

So you were getting 5-6 mpg before the CAI?

typically a CAI is for power while a WAI is for FE, cold air=power warm air=fuel economy. that's y he said to lose it but if u picked up 5mpg and your running over EPA standards don't touch it

I will suggest some high pressure touring tires and a front spoiler/ splitter that will help keep the airflow under your axles.
