I was getting 17+ for 40,000 + miles, then I put the lift on and bigger Mud tires
on, and it suck the gas down. Now I'm lucky if I get 11 to 12. This is driving me
crazy.
Yea, I know "It's a truck", but I can't live with that kind of mileage. I drive
way to much. I'm trying to do all the little mods to try and help .
