Thanks for the tip on the grounding wires (and that it does not make a difference). I already went with an aFe intake and will go with a URD Y-pipe when I can swing it. I am hoping it will help a tad too.

I know what you mean! My corolla is rated at 34mpg (old estimates I think), and I get 37 consistently, 40 on long highway trips at 65-75-mph. I upgraded the grounding wires and that's what bumped my mileage up (didn't notice any increase with intake, exhaust, etc until I did the wires).

I was hoping when I bought this truck I could do a few things here and there for 1-2mpg increases and get it from the est. 18mpg to around 20-25. Sadly, nothing I do seems to help. Doesn't matter if I drive like grandma, or cruise at 60-65 on side roads passing people. I still get 17-18mpg per tank. I just switched to an AFE Pro Dry filter, and so far it looks like 19mpg for this tank! I'm going to watch it over a few tanks, but so far this seems to be the only thing having any affect. At the very least I won't have to by $20 OEM filters every few months now even if it doesn't really help mpg! I even did the bigger ground wires on the truck thinking it would help like the car, but no affect.

So I wonder if the Tundra guys are able to improve their mileage. I'll be pissed if they are. It would suck if the new full size tundra with a kick ass v8 can get better MPGs than the V6 tacoma

I believe that the Wall Street Journal or some similar publication annointed all gas mileage enhancement devices as snake oil junk...

I now have an ECO-2 for sale. We sold the wife's 4runner, so I took it off. I would say it averaged at least 1mpg more with it on. How 150.00, shipped?
