Default My gas mileage lately...
Definately not complaining, but I've noticed lately that my Rubi has been getting pretty good mpg on average. I've been running 19mpg or so with mix of city & highway, and over 21mpg on my way home from work after being on the highway for awhile...here's a couple pics to show ya:




Im still on stock 32's and 4.10's, and I have been driving pretty conservatively with the way gas prices keep climbing...thinking I may just go to 33's if I can still maintain a similar mpg to these numbers with my auto

Odometer is not accurate. You should do the math method to get accurate readings.

I have done the math and like i stated, i have been averaging around 19 mpg. Now if im doing all city, im down alot more, but my mixed driving is pretty good. This past weekend, took a 240 mile straight highway trip...stopped to put fuel in & calculated my miles that i drove & averaged around the same thing as what my odometer is reading was

Damn, I'd be happy to see a consistent 13 to 14 on the highway now. 37's are a killer
