    Wow I had no clue this was possible.

    I turned 300 miles on a single tank finally. When I filled up I put about 19.402 gallons in. This is about a 100 mile upgrade from a year ago.

    I get a little more than 320 per tank, Highway Miles.
    Quite a few more when you factor in the larger tires.
    GPS puts me at about 5-6 mph faster that indicated.
    Around town milage, that's another story.


    City milage is about 200 miles per tank, for me.

    What is the calculations for larger tires?
    I am running 265/65/16 = 31.6 tire A/T

    I used not be able to pass up 220 if that. I remember the days when 79 miles was a half a tank. All becuase of fuel pressure regulator.

    I get around 290-300 per tank and I regularly travel at 80 mph or faster (interstate) - the mileage goes down around town, but it's still in the 270-280 range, and I'm supercharged.

    I edited this from the only time I've commented on tires;
    I also run 265/75's on 16 with no trimming, Not sure of the Dia.
    Avon SXT mud terrain
    Great tread, great high speed, good grip. Look good too.
    they show very little wear. EVEN after putting over 45,000 miles on them!
    Adds 5 mph over indicated speed
    Some "soft" rock crawler compounds will not last long on the street = $$$$$
    Not triing to sell anyone, but I've been extreamly happy with these tires.
