Yeah, the SBEC requires 92 or 93 octane. Hmm....I thought you might have
taller tires than that, cause taller/wider tires increase rolling resitence
and usually decreases fuel mileage. Your mileage should be comparable to
others with the same setup - don't know if it is comparable with other 4 x
4's or not.

What was your mileage again?
Still thinking about your problem.....
