    12 combined highway and city no matter what. 33" tires and a 4.5" lift. Rims are 20" alloy and are HEAVY. Handles better than stock though aside from acceleration.
    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.

    Remember, the diameter of the tire will affect the number of rotations per mile. For example, if you go from the standard 245/70-16 to 265/70-16 there will be an approx. 3% reduction in the speedo reading and also the odometer reading. So in 300 miles (read by the odometer) you will actually be traveling 309+ miles.

    I avg. 16-17 with K&N filter and magnaflow muffler. That's with California gas which has alcohol added. If I go up to Oregon and get a tankful, I'll get 20+ per gallon. Good gas and they pump it!

    My driving is combination city/hiway with a 60 mile round trip commute daily. 113k total miles.
