    Terrible. With my 285 duratracs and 3in lift all city miles I'm only averaging around 14.4mpg.

    I have a 2 in lift but the tires are whats killing my mileage. 17 mpg on Kumho mudders. I'll stick with AT's next time. Love the look and the traction though!

    I did it again. Got tired of paying truck payments and gas and traded in for a 2015 Honda Accord Sport since I enjoyed my 2013 Sport so much.
    Less than I would like.

    Cold weather city driving I have gotten as low as 15-16mpg.

    I just drove 200 miles from DFW to College Station with the cruise set at 67-68mph and got a solid 20mpg.

    Going towards DFW at 73-74 mph netted me a lousy 17-18mpg.

    Slightly larger tires than stock and mild suspension lift

    I really don't know how some of the guys with more modifications claim to get than 20mpg. I'm also pretty gentle with the throttle.

    6" lift with 325/65r18 and 4.88 gears and I get 9-11. MPG is for little cars and hybrids, bet they can't jump a ditch and take off through the woods :)
