Gas milage? We're taking JK right?
Stock tires on 4door Rubi fill up every 2 weeks.
38s Kevlars on 4 door Rubi, every week.
I'm not a math wiz, but I think that's twice as crappy. Oh well, if I wanted good mileage I would have bought a Civic.

only 2500miles....give your motor/parts sometime to break-in. I know it was around 10K km's (6500miles) before I started seeing better MPG. Also, this time of year (winter) is notorious for a drop in fuel economy with the winter blend fuels and colder temps it takes longer for your vehicle to reach normal running temps. Also, try switching stations and avoid any Ethanol pumps...as this is also an issue with dropped MPG.

Also, manuals get better gas mileage as it is.
