yeah, definitely keep your foot out of it, or ride a bicycle. other than that, all the little mods won't help much. if they do anything, it makes your truck more fun to drive which in turn, makes you drive faster

Intake, Exhaust,E fans and a custom tune will all help your gas mileage if you keep your foot out of the gas.

key word is keep the foot out of the gas. since that is so hard for most everyone, all of the above mentioned items will help. but if you are looking for just mileage increase, you are going to spend more on parts than the savings in gas will repay you.
