Have you re-calibrated your speedometer? I was getting a lil over 200 per tank with my 35's, not that I re-calibrated my speedometer with the AEV Procal (and checked my tuning with GPS) I now get 300-350 per tank depending on driving conditions, sometimes more.

Completely stock aside from 245 Firestone A/T's , mixed city/highway. I get around 300 per tank. I put usually around 16 gallons back in the tank, and it averages around 19mpg, which isn't bad. Not sure why 300 per tank would be "low" by any standard especially with a Wrangler.
