Is there anything you guys are doing to get better fuel economy? I mean short of parking the truck:laughing1:

Im about to put a set of oem 22's on my 02 denali and I know the fuel economy is gonna drop a little but is there somethings (mods) I can do to get some of it back?
What has worked for you guys?

Kev:hmm:

sorry...but we get it over in the tundra world also...its kinda funny...

"i just installed this 6 inch lift and 37 inch tires and im only getting 12mpg" they even go back to the dealership and have them run diagnostics on it over and over because they arent getting 20mpg out of a 381hp truck....im getting an avg of 14.0 and am happy with it because i knew it going in.
