    Well i checked my mileage twice and got 15.0&15.1 mpg with the 4.0L with automatic trans rolling on Lt 305/55R20 . Staying under 2,000rpm .Now i want better ... you think a electric fan and ditch the blades, and get rid of the aftermarket chone filter and stay factory cai . Going all synthic fluids. what you guys think? All help i would relly like.

    If you want decent milage, put it on stock tires and keep it under 65.
