| You can try searching through our marketplace on the right side of the site for programmers.
There's no way you're going to go from 14 to 20 on the highway, sorry. You can take a look at Edge Products, I think they have a fuel mileage tuner. | |

| You can certainly get 20mpg on the highway. Problem is, you'll have to learn to drive 6 inches off a tractor/trailer's bumper.
Chrysler V8s do many things well, but consume a moderate amount of fuel has never been one of those things.
I see the average price of gas in Cypress, Texas, is 1.84 (dude, I need to move to Cypress, TX). The price of that programmer would buy you 205 gallons of gas, approximately. Even assuming the high end of its advertised claims, over that 205 gallons of gas, you'll be able to go an extra 410 miles.
I'm not thinking properly enough to calculate how many miles it would take to get your money back, but 40 miles a tank (assuming a 20 gallon tank) sounds pretty good to me.
As far as 20mpg highway, I'm not sure that's realistic, but 17 sounds about right. | |

I installed a K&N Air Filter on My 2003 4.7 V8 Dakota. I average about 16 miles city/20 Highway. | |

| | I hate to burst your bubble, but that K&N filter is not solely responsible for an increase like Nick is talking about achieving. It is certainly part of better performance and mileage but it won't get him 5+ MPG increases. | |

| | I have a '02 Quad w/4.7L with an airraid K&N. Don't know if this really helps but I recently got exactly 21.9 MPG on a trip to Charlotte and back and routinely get appx 17 MPG in the city. Also prior to Charlotte trip, had a new fuel pump installed due to system losing pressure thru the regulator. | |

| | But if you put an "Airraid K&N" (and here I thought it was either one or the other) on the Saturn you could get a get even more, like 31 and shit! | |
