I'm down to 13-14 mpg city and 14-16 hwy. maybe 17 on a long trip if I'm lucky.

There's more then just the tires at play here though.

With 37's and 4.88 gears I'm getting about 14 on e-way and 16 in city... Why the difference? 6" lift on e-way drags more air than cruising back roads. Oh, I have a manual also
