    My 07 seemed to get a bit better fuel mileage after about 2 years. I don't keep detailed records so I can't prove it, but it sure seemed like about 1-1.5 mpg better at that point.

    Running the engine at higher RPM's in many cases is actually easier on the engine and will improve fuel mileage.

    No money, all went to truck...
    I'm curious though, I'm wondering if this truck does better MPG if you let it rev up before shifting. Seems like lugging the engine is more inefficient.
