I own a 2001 chevy k1500 4x4 with a 6.0 and will be getting stationed around 300 miles from family and suddenly now bieng challenged with the age old question? How to get better gas fuel economy. Now i already changed my air flow system to a more direct flow and changed my mufflar to better flowing exhaust and have gained some but is thier anything else that i can do? I read some articles about tuning but from what i have looked up they are running around 300+$. is their any one who can give a better way than what i all ready have done? I live in southern maryland and will be moving to VA beach

 

Best increase in MPG is going to be weight reduction and a custom Tune.

 

get it fully bolt on... LT headers, CAI system, 3" y-pipe, muffler, and e-fans... those will all help you out plus the tune.

 

Justin @ Blackbear performance tunes my truck and my work van and I am getting .5 to .8 more miles to the gallon in the van over the stock calibrations the guy is Awsome. He lives in northern Va, so he close to you. Tell him I sent you.

Tonneau cover.

I got 3-4 mpg better with mine.

 

Custom tune. I get around 18-21 driving it hard most of the time, and 22-23 on the interstate. I bought a motorcycle to save gas though.
