      Stock with 31"s I got 20-22 highway MPG.
      Lifted 5" and lost 3-4 MPG.
      PUT 33"s on and lost 3-4 MPG.
      I get 13-15 MPG now with stock 4.10's but I got 4.88's in the garage waiting for a free weekend and I'm cusious what that'll do to my MPG.

        I'm not sure what I am getting per mile (never thought to do the math), but per tank I am getting around 265-290 miles. I have done a royal purple oil change with a k&n filter, and recently installed a Banks catback exhaust (SWEEEET!!!), air raid t-body spacer, and installed a k&n air filter. Before I had problems staying in 5th on the highway sometimes even downshifting to 3rd on some hills (which still only got me to 40-45mph), but now I can stay in fith and I am cruising at 65-75mph. I still have stock gearing. running 33's no lockers. not to mention this rig sounds really mean. My next step is gearing and lockers, then headers.

            Do 488's make a real difference in performance?? I kinda want to know if it's worth pulling apart the axles.

                Not sure if it helps your situation... but, I have a t/body spacer, k&n, mod air box, and flow-through straight exhaust (glasspack), and no cat. However, I have just recently installed a R.E. 4.5" lift so I'm sure my mileage has dropped. The best thing I found to help with mileage is #1 keep your foot out of the gas,#2 do regular maintenance, especially your ignition and fuel system. But, I'm sure you all know that.

                A little off the beaten path of getting better fuel economy... If anyone is looking for more power/fuel delivery I know a guy the works for Edge Performance that can build Juice boxes for our 4 cyl.'s.

                  I am getting 17-18 MPG in combination driving with 4.10s and 32" tires. I drive as smooth as I can and drive pretty slow.
