    Just an idea. But 60 lbs less to carry can improve milage. It will require more frequent stops though..lol

    Oh l agree. Every little bit of weight reduction does help. But l just wonder if the gain is worth the risk? Especially at this time of year.

    245/75R16 H/T tires will gain mileage, especially compared to a heavy AT tire.

    Running your vehicle low on gas during the winter can be dangerous. Getting stuck in traffic jams caused by bad weather when the tank happens to be low.
    I'm just guessing that to save weight. One wouldn't fill the tank more than half. Lots of gas stops to keep a safe buffer there.
    I'm just basing this on my own experience of having been stuck in traffic during a winter storm for 5 plus hours.
