Default Easy 2-3 MPG

Just bought an '05 Dakota QC 4x4. Loved the truck, but wanted a bit more range out of a tank of gas. Looked into CAI, TB spacers, Cat back, but did not want to part with the $$$. Dropped a K&N replacement filter, and put a Flowmaster 40 series muffler in it to replace the stock unit(but I kept all stock pipes and resonators). I did not want it too loud as it is the wife's daily driver, and I did not want the cabin noise. The Economy computer is now at 16-17 MPG, where it used the live at 13-14 MPG (around town). The sound is nice and mellow, and will not disturb the neighbors, but lets anyone around you know you've got a V-8. For under $200, the truck now has character and a bit more economy. Recommeneded

I bet the gas you save will eventually pay that off too. Pics or vid?
