Re: Better MPG? intakes and exhausts
The quick Oil change places LOVE to sell you Injection cleaners, new wiper blades, radiator flush and whatever they peddle.
Do not fall victim to those rip offs. If you car or truck runs well, maintain it per Toyota's recommendations and you will be fine.
As far as Scangauge, it displays several important pieces of worthwhile data.
you INSTANT MILEAGE, as well as Gallon per Minute, Today's mileage, this TANK's mileage ...............etc
The useful ones for me are instant and today's mileage.
As you drive you see the numbers and as you accelerate ( or not ) you see the difference it makes. It makes you a more efficient driver and it will save you gas very quickly.
You will get home as fast as before but you will use a bit less fuel in the process.
My own experience with my 2006 4X4 Tundra has been positive:
I went ( around town ) from 14 or 15 mpg to 17mpg. Nothing to jump up and down about, but significant nonetheless.
