Question type: General

Help!! I have a 2003 Ram 1500 Quad Cab Long Bed: I purchased this truck used. My fuel mileage is killing me. I am averaging around 11 mpg. (city) The truck has after market cold air induction and a Poweraid Spacer in the throttle body, all of which are supposed to improve efficiency and economy. Any suggestions?
