    I didn't use the odometer in the calculation. Only the dashboard mpg calculator.

    Most, but not all. Say 75-25.

    Still doesn’t matter, your dash is not calibrated to your wheels.

    Sounds like you're still sporting the air dam. Nice.

    Yes, I actually extended it. It’s about 4 inches off the ground now, night and day difference I tell ya.

    Yep. My dash under estimates my mileage due to my tire size.

    Eh, my 6spd 4.0L Frontier regularly did 23 mpg on long trips with the stock P265/75R16 ATs. Last trip was 21.7mpg with E rated KO2s in the same size. I'm not exactly driving with efficiency in mind either.

    My 16' V6 2wd access cab got 22.3mpg according to the computer, and this was averaged over roughly 40K miles of driving (and without the air dam).

    My current 17' is a pig 4x4 quad cab long bed and it gets about 18.2mpg averaged over ~12,500 miles. This is with the KDMax Pro Tune, 91 octane ethanol free fuel, and 275/65-16 Goodyear Wrangler Adventures. The extra ~500lbs on this bigger truck kills the fuel mileage. Ethanol free fuel is used in this truck because I daily drive a camry and the truck is seldom used unless I'm on vacation in the mountains, so the fuel tends to sit for long periods.

    Keep driving your truck OP, guaranteed your average goes below 20.

    I would highly suggest that you use a fuel tracking app like Fuelly so you can get a real idea of what your actual mileage is.

    Yes, my average will go below 20 mpg. I said in an earlier post I usually average around 18 mpg or so in normal daily driving. 50/50 City/Hwy.

    Damn,
    Maybe I was wrong. Just added 30 more miles to the tank average and the mpg's went up!

    I'm in the same boat.... his 32s might be lighter though. Mine are heavy at 63lbs.
