I have a 96 Dodge Ram Van with the 5.2 V8, I saw an extra 3mpg by switching to Mobil-1 Truck/SUV synthetic oil. Drive slowly and carefully. My 5500lb van with the V8 hits 16mpg city with careful driving.<br><b>References : </b><br> Synthetic oil definitely makes a difference.

No magic oil or air filter or exhaust will change your mileage maybe a few tenths.No matter what you are told. I have tried exhaust and air filters and had no change in mileage.
