Not to sound rude here, but there is a reason I hardly ever get on this forum...and it's replies like
That. Maybe you should stick to Viagra.com. I'm looking for help about my JK and what it may or may not be like after I lift it and add bigger tires. Also thanks to everyone who doesn't read the original posts. I specifically asked for mpg's with 4:10's, not 3:73's, 5:13's or anything else. If that offends anyone I guess you should measure your penis

Man I wish I was close to breaking even on what I used to get MPG wise. I have no idea how anyone picks up gas mileage with lift and bigger tires. Let's face it though if your lifting and putting bigger tires on then you really should know that your MPG is going to suffer. Any good economist will tell you that change always has cost associated.

I have an 07 JKU w/stock wheels & tires, Superchips Flashpaq tuned to 89 octane with 4:10 gears. I live in a hilly area of CT and rarely get highway type driving (so far) in the JKU. Before the tuner I got ~14.5 mpg with the tuner I'm getting ~15.5 mpg it seems to have better throttle response as well. With the price of gas and the fact I'm looking at upgrading the tires (285/75/17s) I went with the tuner. 1 mpg doesn't sound like much but I'll take every mpg I can get. I'm sure is would be better in a "flatter" environment. I'd love to get 17+ mph like some people state but then I enjoy living where I do so...
I expect the mpg to drop some with the change in tires, probably back to where I started.

I have a 2112 Rubi running 410 gears and 35s don't have a programmer . But if you take into account the tires are 3" bigger than the stock 32s . So roughly 10% last 300 mile trip almost all highway I was setting at 17.2 mpg calculated by the computer . So it would work out to be over 18 adding the 10%. It never got that good with 32 s . All city driving I can tell you has dropped by about 1 mpg computers worst readout so far 13.9.
