Default Gas Milage

What is your gas Milage with 33's or 35's? Does it make a big difference between the two tire sizes?

Default so so not so good

I have an automatic 07 with 35's and 5:13 gears, rock hard rear bumper with all the extras, stock front bumper still and the milage is a crummy 15 or so...

I installed a K&N ram air filter got a lot of intake noise and lost 1 mpg... go figure??

What kind of front bumper? a stubby or a full wind kite?

I have 35" Nitto Trail Grapplers. Just calculated my gas mileage today after being able to run highway speeds with my 4.88's. getting 14.45 at 65-70 with the jeep full of stuff... probably weighs more than a full passenger load.
253 miles at 17.5 gallons
4 dr 6 speed btw.
