    I get 14.5mpg consistently, with city/highway and offroad (hills and gravel) driving.
    Is that figured after compensating for the difference in tire diameter that threw off your speedometer (odometer) in the first place? I can't figure out how much a difference is made by my 31.5's with no lift on a tank of gas. If you figured out a formula hook a brother up!

    No, I didn't do the math -I just used straight numbers. I realize that I travel further with every rotation, I figured that it would be confusing to figure that in.

    I have a decent tire size calculator -maybe I'll do the numbers tonight.
