The computer is not going to be accurate. You need to devide miles driven by # of gallons put in the tank.


I get right at 14 with mine.

Ya know, 4" of lift is quite a bit for just 35" tires and you might want to consider a 3" lift instead. I have that set up now and can tell you that it's a perfect combination. As far as MPG goes, I have my axles regeard to 5.13 and average about 14.5 MPG now. If I went with 4.88's, I could have probably gotten better.
