All in how you drive it. On 35s I would expect anywhere from 12-16. Dash isnt terribly accurate, I would hand calculate it a couple times and take an average.

Yea. I guess it's just the big tires and wheels. I had a cracked y pipe and thought once I got that fixed my mpg's would be better. But it didn't change at all once I got it fixed. Oh well!

17-20 unloaded and driving about 55mph. Anything above about 60 and the mileage drops like a rock. BTW, these numbers are hand calculated and very consistent over the past year. I get slightly better mileage in the winter.

i was getting horrible MPG (like 10-12) before my low pressure fuel pump (the one in the frame) took a crap, after that was fixed it has gotten a lot better

I can get 20 out of the Ex if I really really behave with it. On the interstate running 75'ish I average about 15. In town it drops to around 13.

In CA I get 17 mpg highway, because of the degraded diesel. But in Washington state, where I fueled up before going back to CA I got 22mph highway. Both ways doing 70 mph. I try to keep the RPMs at 2k. Currently traveling through NJ and getting 19 mpg. 70mph. Jersey drivers suck.

I get 14-16 hand calculated depending on how I drive and how long I let it warm up before leaving to and from work.

hand calculated i get between 15-16 with 5.5" lift on 36's with a race tune from Matt. I got 12.3 hand calc'd while towing my 11K 5th wheel from Houston to central Alabama. I guess i got a pretty good one compared to some of y'alls.
