   Yep, it will amost definitely improve. When I got my truck, I was getting
10-14mpg. Now I get 17-18 in normal daily driving (which usually includes a
lot of "gettin' on it".) :)
 
   Also, I'm not sure where you're located, but if its winter, and its
cold w/snow and stuff, that'll really drop your gas mileage down too.
I got my truck in October, and when spring rolled around, I noticed
an immediate improvement in gas mileage.
