    I'm not complaining or anything but was just wondering if 200 miles out of my full tank is normal on my 07 Sport. It has 33's and a lift. Thanks!

    6 inch lift and 33 will do that. It's all relative on your driving habits as well too

    No problem! Fast accelerations, high freeway speeds, quick stopping, and many other things affect mpg. My truck with a 3 inch lift, road tires, and camper shell can get 25 mpg on highways going 65 ~350 a tank. If I got 75 then I drop down to like 21 mpgs. So it really does depend on a lot of things

    That's gotta hurt. I get 310mi/500km from a tank before my light comes on and I'm on 32s with a 2 inch lift with load range E ko2's.

    Keep in mind that having larger tires will lower your perceived mileage because your odometer will say you drove 100 miles, but in actuality you drove say 120. Also remember that when the low fuel light comes on you still have 3-4 gallons left in the tank.

    What load range are your tires? With 33s, that'll make the biggest difference with any sort of city driving.

    Yeah, it kind of sucks. I knew the mpg's were going to be bad but not that bad. Unless there is something wrong that I am unaware of.

    I'm not happy that we have the same mileage and you have 100 hp on me. Please stop making me jealous, its rude.
