05 ram 1500 increasing mileage

I just bought an 05 Ram 1500 with 4.7l. I do mainly highway driving with a little 4X4ing on sites (oilfield). My question is which chips (if any) are better for mileage than power? I don't want to lose too much power, but want to up the mpg's. Is there any other tricks anyone can recommend?

Re: 05 ram 1500 increasing mileage

depends on how much you're willing to spend but you can go to www.superchips.com, they have a nice performance upgrade for 4.7 V8s, cold air intakes from www.bullydog.com, all that can add 20+ HP and can increase fuel mileage. If you want an exhaust, get a Borla cat back b/c Flowmaster is too loud and at 70 MPH, the sound is deafening but Borla's exhaust is crisp & loud, but not deadening at highway speeds.
