Did you re-callibrate your speedometer/ odometer? If you havent the larger tires will throw off your mpgs.
that's what i was going to ask, did you recalibrate your speedo after installing larger tires?

2012 2dr Rubicon (6spd) with 35" , 2.5" and stock 4.10's ... Driving around norther GA (Gainesville - Foothills area) I get about 16mpg overall average.

Thinking of going to 4.56 or 4.88's to help. Also will be setting the Steel wheels with the M/T TTC's off to the side for trails and get some lighter 35's (Duratrac's maybe) mounted to the factory Rubi wheels for my 80-mile round trip each day. Should help a little. Got to do something with the gas prices heading to over $4.00 this summer.
