    I made my first purchase today for the new rig I bought a K&N air filter. I've heard mixes reviews about it helping MPG's. So I'll keep u guys posted on how it goes. I know I should just a 5 star tuner but funds are limited!!

    You're probally getting better mpg than my brother-in-law's wife.
    She has a stock 2001 Excursion Limited with the V10, I'm guessing two tanks a week running three teenagers all over creation.

    Had a k&n intake and tbs on my silverado when I had it and it worked for 1 mpg

    But on my f150 I had a spectre intake with the better filter and a tbs and only noticed better mpg when u hear it sucking air. So at 25,40,60,&70 it would get better mpg cause u hear it sucking air.

    But I think it's the way a engine is made that makes it help or not
