Well, something isn't right with my jeep then. I just put the 2" lift (may be more like 3") and the 17" wheels with the larger at's...and when I figured up the mpg, it was 13.6. That doesn't seem right to me...Of course, I haven't recalibrated my jeep for the larger rims. I've seen people say that the mileage won't be exact until you do. However, I should be getting better mpg than this shouldn't I????

. You know, the dealership can reflash it for the 32"s.

That's nuts....for not much more, I can have the programmer. I've heard a lot of dealerships doing it for free. I'll go through a few tanks and see...but 13.5 seems low for mine right now.

MPG Follow-up
Ok, I'll be nice. 
I lost a couple MPG when we installed my 2.5" coil lift, but got it back with the addition of the air intake. Even after all the "stuff" I've bolted on to my JK, I'm still getting between 19-20 MPG around town so I'm not complaining.
I have recalibrated, but am not sure if that affects a manual as much as an automatic. I do try to use my cruise as much as possible, especially when I'm roaming around that big "secure" area in SW Madison county. By the way, before all the mods, the stock configuration consistently yielded 22-23 MPG.

. . . and I agree with you guys, $90 is ridiculous!! I got my Procomp Accu-Pro for like $160 in a deal I worked with 4WheelParts. If it weren't VIN locked to my Rubi, I'd let you borrow it to see if you'd want to purchase one for yourself.

I dropped by the dealership a couple of Sundays ago, and they told me Travis is no longer employed there. Hope he left on his own terms, and that he'll be able to join us on some of our weekend rides now.
