    1. AFE pro dry intake
    2. Exhaust of your choice
    3. Long tube headers that delete the secondary cats
    4. Fill tires to just barely too high a pressure
    5. Run premium fuel
    6. Run APR X-1 and all related componentry
    7. Soft tonneau cover
    8. Regear
    9. Get full skids to decrease drag... yes people get MPG increase or no decrease with heavy skids, getting lighter ones can increase HWY MPG.
    10. Use 5-20 synthetic motor oil
    11. DO NOT use cruise control... it costs me about 2 MPG as it sucks on anything but level ground.
    12. The TRD supercharger, due to the tuning for compression and transmission shifting can increase MPG if you dont get on it.
    13. Dont use the AC. I can actually see a .5 mpg to 1 mpg differnce when using the AC.
    14. Use fuel with no ethanol whenever possible... more important than using premium... if you choose premium 90/10 or regualr 100% gasoline use the 100% gasoline regular.
