    Fuel chips? Hahahaha no, what they are is a waste of money. A programmer/tune might help if you have one customized for just economy.

    Well I actually believe their trucks are lighter. But anyways, the efans are a good start, but you're talking maybe saving $10 in gas a year. You won't notice a difference.

    I try not to run low ever, but what the fuel light come on at? % of tank level? Some x gallons left? I have the larger tank 30 some gallon tank and i think something was always off with my fuel gauge. Usually 15-16 mpg mixed driving 2006 5.4. I get my mpg by running to 1/4 tank left and fill up. Usually get 20 gallons, around 300 miles.

    It depends. I think mine comes on with 3 gallons left. I get ~45 miles before I run out.

    I have the 27 gallon tank and the one time I ran it until the light came on I think it still only took like 23.5 gallons, so around 3-3.5 left or with my city mpg about 40 or so miles till empty.
