I have thought the same thing. It's like, where do you draw the line on spending money for things that take years to recover from. Everytime I stop at the gas pump and drop 30 bucks it makes me wonder what mod could make this truck go further, milage wise.

Most mods produce more power, which in turn uses MORE gas. I love my truck....just not when I have to fill the gas tank up.

if you use modifications that compliment each other...mileage should stay the same (and does sometimes increase).

The down side of modifications is the "Fun Factor": More power = More Fun = More pressure on the go-pedal (mileage definitely suffers).
