    Do you have 33's? Granted I'm a second gen but even after my lift I lost ~0.5MPG according to my calculations right now.

    I want to believe that, I really do, but part of me says that there would still be just as many stupid people determined to post on FB and send text messages while driving that it might actually be worse if they're trying to operate a manual at the same time....

    I can drive my stick, eat fast food, and text at the same time. Does that make me the ultimate millennial?

    It's actually funny: people who think they can multi-task are probably the worst at it.

    nope, but this subject has been reported, debated ad-nauseum, at +3 sizing you'll lost mpg, the weight difference alone is quite large

    Get the transmission you want. Put on the tires you want. Stop worrying about gas mileage. If MPG is an issue, leave it stock or get a prius. Just put more gas in when it gets low and don't worry about it. You'll enjoy it a lot more that way.

    You'll drive yourself nuts if you try and squeeze a couple mpgs out of a lifted 4x4, like they said above stop worrying and drive or get a car.
