Uhmm.... you drive a big ass pickup truck built to go offroad, how much fuel economy do you really expect to get? Face the facts, that truck will never get more than 15 miles to the gallon no matter what you do to it. If money is really that tight, its time for a more sensible vehicle.

(This isn't directed at you, its directed at everyone ->) If you say money is tight and you don't know what to do, but you mod your car for performance in a day that premium gas costs almost $4.00 in some places, you deserve no pity when you are knee deep in debt. There are too many people out there that refuse to admit that at the end of the day, if money is scarce, its more important to be driving a civic with 40MPG than your ultra-modded sports car that gets less MPG than my mothers SUV
