Here are the numbers i came up with in the amount of time i have owned my truck.

2006 V6 EX - US Gallons - 87 Octane

Stock Truck:
15.47 Avg MPG (City) - Average calculated after numerous fill-ups

K&N Air Filter Added:
16.35 Avg MPG (City) - Average calculated after numerous fill-ups

Switched to M1 Full Synthetic:
16.5 Avg MPG (City) - Average calculated after only 3 fill-ups so far.

All of that is with the wife driving. I just don't see how you can get much higher numbers. Maybe its an elevation thing with the thinner vs. thicker air?
