Wow, some of these numbers are w-a-y higher than I thought. I have 35's, 4:10's, 2-door, 6-speed, and while I do not push it to fumes, I am uncomfortable going past 225 miles on a tank (and I have recalibrated the speedo).

I have a 2 door with 35's, auto trans, 4.10 gears, winch and bumper and I get 260-300 miles per tank with filling up around 16 gallons when the needle is on "E".

How is it possible a lot of you are saying you are still getting 16 mpg with a lift and 35's. I'm calling BS. There is no way you are still getting the mileage that it's rated for stock.

My mileage is not too far from 16 if I was a little easier on the gas I think I could get 16mpg. Currently getting 14-15 mpg through the first 2 tanks of gas on the new tires. I also didnt notice much drop in power with the 35's either. 3.73 + 35's

Last tank:

276.6 miles
16.678 Gallons
16.5 MPG

Tank before (from DFW to Marble Falls with a massive head/cross wind)

280.5 Miles
18.159 Gallons
15.4 MPG

Not as far fetched as you think.
