    I just did my first road trip with the new lift/tires and was quite surprised at the mileage I got. When I bought this VX I had a 14 hour drive home and got 22mpg with the stock wheels/tires and I thought putting 33's on it would drop me down to 13-15 mpg but I just did a 400+ mile trip and got 18mpg!!! That was a pleasant surprise!

    Next mods will be audio related......trying to decide what I want to do. I want GPS/Sirius and I'm leaning towards a Pioneer head unit.

    actually, your math is backwards...larger diameter= less revolutions, meaning you are not registering all of the miles travelled. I have 275-75 16's and my speedo is of by 10%, making more like 20mpg
    Stupid SHOULD be painful

    Is it really 10% for 265-75-16's?

    In any case you're really lucky if you're getting that kind of mileage... I got about 20-22 when I picked mine up stock, and get ~16 with 33X12.5 and that's on a good day.
