i've been hearing all about these mods but how much can they improve the mpg? can anyone throw down some and what they improve. thanks!

get a diesel chevette....................lol

there may be mods out there to get you 1 or 2 MPG. But if you are like most of us. You will burn what you save when you just itch to put the pedal to the floor.

Best mod, hybrid....

so its not worth it i mean using it as my daily driver and i mostly drive around town i get 10-11 if i could get 12 or 13 itd be better

Just buy a beater and call it a day. I went from 8MPG in the Jeep to 300 miles per tank in my Passat. The savings in fuel alone is enough to pay for my beater. :)

Mods may get you 1-2 mpg, but at a cost of a few hundred bucks. That makes it not worth it mpg wise. As said by MichaelSRT8, the second you hit the throttle with your new mods, you'll burn even more fuel than before, its a catch 22.

Yeah the best mod you can get is a different car lol

Im seeing 15mpg in town on 91 octane up here in colorado. All I have done is the bwoody 4" CAI. I did notice an increase in mpg after I put it on. But everyone is right. I try with all my might to stay off it, but she usually gets the best of me.

Better gas mileage and SRT8 in the same sentence is a No-NO

Add another gear to the tranny! That will give you ridiculous mpg

Air your tires way up. I drove back from the track with 43 psi in my fronts and 37 in my rears. Got 16.5 mpg highway, a record for me.

Get in touch with this guy and tell him you want a "high mpg tune".

I gained 2-3 mpg on the highway with just his tune. The additional performance comes with increased efficiency vs what the factory gives you. Other mods like a CAI, high flow cats, larger tires with higher inflation pressures all help as well. All together they helped me also but only about 1 mpg additional. It's all negated though when you mash your throttle pedal.

so the bwoody will help though? and rich who and where is the guy located is this legit? i would def. be interested.

best mod for MPG... the autostick feature. start off in 2nd when possible. shift thru 3rd quickly stay in in 5th as long as possible. I got 17mpg one day to work.... boring ass drive... but i got the mpg

and rich who and where is the guy located is this legit?

:eek::eek::eek::eek::jawdrop:, Please don't joke like that, he's Da one, Da only, Da Toona!!!!:p

Get a SRT-4 or cut off your right foot! like mentioned earlier SRT8 & Milage is a NO NO...:)

Get a tune. It will gain 1-2 MPG. But of course it ain't free. PM DiabloTOONA. He'll get you right.

ok i messaged DiabloTOONA ill see what the price is but yea the stick should be good for highway drives if im doing them once daily i bet i could get up there to..but yes everyone thres just the times when u gotta go like a rocketship hahah!

Johan is located in Florida. You will love his tunes.

1. driver mod
2. Prius mod.

Neither of which is an acceptable choice for me.:D

Could doing a 2wd conversion help some- reduce rotation mass?

Sure, if you feel like jacking up your beast and removeing the front driveshaft and transfer case motor, you can run 2wd. You may gain 2-3 mpg, but lose all your traction.

Just get a performance tune from Johan and it will give you 1-2 MPG. If you want to get people busting on you...just ask how to get better gas mileage from you beast!

I wouldn't be racing around like that (other than maybe a few burnouts) but its FREEEEEEEE :cheers:

A FOR SALE sign......:D:lol:

Dude, myself and all the other GCSRT8 owners didn't buy the truck for the gas milage. Every performance mod that we have purchased was bought to make our Rig go faster which = burning more fuel.........It's nick named the BEAST for a reason!!!!!

Don't understand beats me why would anybody want to buy a Jeep SRT8 and worry about MPG? GOTTA PAY TO PLAY!!!!

To answer the first part, no a BWoody will not really help. In theory you could gain like 3mpg max, but you won't at all. If anything, my gas mileage has gone down since I got mine. I just floor it more since it's a little faster and sounds cool.
