Default MPG with 33's and 2.5 lift

I have a stock 4 door sahara. If I put on 33's and a 2-3" lift, what kind of gas mileage can I expect with stock 3.73s?

I'm runnin 35's with a 2.5" BB and i'm gettin 15mpg with the stock 3.73's. I think its all gonna depend on your driving habits and the type of roads your traveling. I've seen MPG's all over the place.

Im running 33's auto with 3:73 gears. I average 16mpg mixed city and highway. Im going to 4:88's soon. That should help the mpg from constantly not having to downshift.

Well i'm runnin a superchips also and it helps out alot. The pickup is ok. Its not a rocket off the line but its a Jeep, i don't expect it to beat camaro's and mustangs in a race. 15mpg is not highway. I drive on a straight road with some small hills and inclines. It defenitly needs gears but i would say the setup is liveable. If your doing 33's you should get a slight decrease in MPG, i would think you may lose 2-3 mpg. I was getting about 20 before my 35's.

2 1/2 Rock Krawler, with Firestone Destinations AT's. I get around 18 on HWY, but the difference is in the type of tires you get. I had a set of Firestone Destinations MT's, they looked good, sounded bad, road rough and my gas mileage was around 15 on HWY. Tires make a big difference in mileage.

I'm getting a couple less mpg with my 33s on a RC 3.25 lift. One thing I have noticed is when the fill up light comes on the needle goes down a lot faster.
