Cost per mpg

Here's one for ****ts and giggles, take the doller amount you have spent on your mods, divide that $ amount by your best mpg. Lets see who comes up with the best numbers, Oh and list your mods Example $1500.00 divided by 15mpg = 100$ per gallon Geter done!!

Ok I'll go first, Costs of what I have done to my truck. I have only added Bi-Tron to all my oils and using fuel conditioner which costs less than buying priemium, $270.00 I got 19.35 mpg 270 divided by 19.35 = $13.95 per gallon

Kind of an odd way to analyze something, what makes a number better, higher or lower?

I'm somewhere in the 580 range.

Mods:
Air Force One - 3.25" Intake
Amp Research - Power Step
AutoSpring - 2" Leveling Kit
AVS - In-Channel VentVisors
BF Goodrich - All Terrain TA/KO
BilletBadges - Custom Badges
DeVries Signs - Emblem Decal
Ford - Harley Davidson Grille
Ford - Harley Davidson Headlights
FORD - HD Tail Lights
Ford - Third Brake Light
Henry's Muffler Shop - Custom True Dual Exhaust
JL Audio - 300/2 Amp
JL Audio - 300/4 Amp
JL Audio - C5-570 Front Components
JL Audio - Stealhbox 10"
JL Audio - XR-570 Rear Speakers
Llumar - 15% Tint
Pace-Edwards - JackRabbit Cover
Patriot Decals - Emblem Overlay
PIAA - 525 Offroad Lights
Putco - Spiderweb grille insert
ScanGauge - ScanGauge II
SCT - Xcal2
Sylvania - SilverStars $98.00
Ultra Wheels - 20" Titan 6 $
EZDown Tailgate Damper
LineX - Spray in bed liner $
Westin - Ultimate Bull Bar (Black)

I think that's pretty much everything, not including all my detailing equipment.
