Default gas mileage is getting better. slowly

ok guys,
Last week i posted up that i got 23mpg (act. 22.99). on a half tank.
tonight i filled up and check my mileage and it come out to 23.3mpg. Im excited, im goin try my best to get 24mpg!!
and yea this is my truck in my sig.

Think Electric Fans and a magnaflow (straight through design) Could bump me up bout .7mpg?

all this is on premium (which just went up today to $3.09 a freakin gallon)
HPP III is on 93 tune, and K&N FIPK, and a Lund Seal and peal soft bed cover.

im trying to find some 275/60/16 Toyo Proxes S/T's to replace my crappy Liberator All-Terrains. I have been reading up on them some. Few guys said they were crap?!? and to stay away from Toyo's? whats up with that?
Best price so far is $468.68 shipped to my door, im goin to call around locally tom to see what they are priced around here.

Just letting yall know how things are goin around here

Later.
Keep On

I'm on my second set of Toyos...went from 275/60/16s to 305/50/20s and have been VERY happy with both sets. The neat thing is the built-in Rim Protector that keeps you from curbing your rims...saved mine a few times already!

Oh yea i did put a pint of SeaFoam in the last 2 tanks of premium. Think that could help anything?

any suggestions?
i would love to sell the hypertech, buy a tune and get a crank relearn. and not be out any money.

could i get 1mpg better with say a wait4me tune? $157.70, Crank relearn $75ish??
or i could sell my Snake Charmer .410, i payed $200 for it. anybody want it?haha


what are used HPP III's goin for used?
$200 would be awesome! if i could get that?
