    I'm getting around 15 mpg right now my drive to work is about 2 miles so that doesn't help it!! And I never checked the MPG when I had the stock tires on so I'm not sure what I was getting before that!!

    I'm jealous I wish I went with Toyo's, I hate my BFG KO's. How's your mileage with those tires? Think I'm going to get them next.
