I 've only had my Tundra a week, will post pictures when I add a couple more accessories. Thx!!!

Sounds like a good $10 paperweight.

If it did what it said and only cost $10 retail; probably $2.00 to manufacture, every car manufacture out there would have them on their vehicles.

IMO, save your money.

Ramoine, why such bad mileage?

jtruck, I get the same as Ramoines on my "average" readout (13.8), this is the average of street and highway, mostly street with my 08 crewmax. I hear stories of 16,18+well that is with ONLY highway/freeway and a strong tailwind or lots of downhill, I watch my readout and it does hit those numbers when cruising at 65 or letting off the accelerator.

Truck looks great. Have my eye on the same one. Maybe in the DC though, not made up my mind yet. Very sharp. Anyone think the DC 4x4 get better MPG?

I have a 08 DC 4x4 and get about 13.5 mostly city driving and i cant keep my foot out of the gas

I have a 07 SR5 DC TRD STD BED 5.7 and my mileage in town back and forth to work and such is always right around 16.3 and highway I get 19.8. There are no mods on this truck yet.

Probably due to the lift , only a 3' but also most of my driving is in town .

Hills / Mountains kill my milage. I get about 14 for an average. What can I do? Is there a list of "REAL" fixes? Spark-plugs? Oils? Air Intakes? Maybe someone can put together a list of the top 5 - 10 things and what effect they are expected to achieve?

Unless you have a body lift there shouldn't be any fuel consumption difference on a lifted truck. Think about it. More of the tires are all that is being exposed, although maybe with cavitation physics and all there might be some extra resistance. Hmmmm.. Perhaps someone should throw a lifted truck in a wind tunnel then compare it to a stock height truck.

I changed the rake of the vehicle's stance , thereby theoretically changing the areodynamics . Ergo , worse fuel economy .





LOL !!!!!

DEZ the word is drag. You have more drag now so mpg goes down.

Drag shmag, neither of you guys have convinced me on this topic. One of you drinks and the other plays golf! Oh and you both of you made irrational decisions by chosing a CM so there goes your credibility!!!! Back to the Ultras!!!!
