    Good lord! Do you people get like 10 miles per gallon with all that junk in the trunk? Seems like many of you are ready for the zombie appocolypse right now. Guess I had better get on the ball.

    I only carry:
    ice scraper
    extra oil
    paper towel (or two)
    tow strap
    first aid/road side "survival" kit

    When I'm home in my little valley in Colorado I don't even carry a spare tire with me (donut or otherwise).

    Nope, I get 16-17 in town and 19-21 on the highway WITH lift and big heavy tires!

    Damn, thats pretty good. I get 12 around town and 15-17 on hwy. I am running rich for some reason though, no smoke, but I can smell it. I have noticed no difference from the light weight AT2s to the HEAVY kevlar mudders. I think the roof rack is killing me a bit.

    Roof rack will kill gas mileage for sure...more so on the highway than in town...to keep on topic,thats why you keep all the junk in the trunk Heavier tires will heart more in town than on the open highway...once you get them up to speed they maintain it better.
