Default Gas mileage

Hey guys I was wondering what kind of gas mileage everyone was getting. I just put on bigger rims and tires yesterday and lost 4 miles per gallon. I'm at 14 miles per gallon now. Was also wondering how do I know for sure I have 3.73 gears? The widow sticker has it but I read on another thread about missing things that were in the sticker.
Thanks Lou

do the math and see how many miles you go on one tank. Use a gps.

I'll have to do that. I think my spedo is off so I'm sure the gas mileage is off too.
