You'll want to look for a performance air filter. Basically these increase gas mileage by increasing air supply. The more air which is available and circulating, the better the overall gas mileage.

Are cold air intakes and short ram air intakes a marketing scam?
no, because the factory air box is so restrictive (trying to quiet the intake down) simply by removing the air box you improve hp and mileage maybe not noticeably because you are now sucking hot air from the engine bay but if you do a cold air intake you will def see noticable gains.

There are many reasons to add a cold air intake but performance and mileage are the two main one. However, you need to know that in application the two work against each other. Too get more performance you need more air AND more fuel so to get one you need the other. Performance intakes help with gas mileage by letting the engine breathe easier, so your mileage increases...

How does the same 5.7 hemi engine put out 390 hp in there trucks but only 376 hp in the cars?
I have had the same question being that we own a Dodge Ram 5.7L Hemi, Dodge Challenger 5.7L Hemi and a Dodge Durango 5.7L Hemi. From posts of a variety of Dodge Owners Forums, I have been able to ascertain that the difference is in the different throttlebodies and intake manifolds used on the different models. The trucks have more of a high rise intakes compared to the more flat fitting intakes on the cars. The trucks intake and manifolds allow for more air intake compared to the cars. More air intake equals more horsepower.
