35's on 20's and a 10 inch lift and you're worried about MPG??? is that a 1500 or 2500? Your low end is going to suck *** until you re-gear. Even if you get a blower on there you're not going to be in your powerband without a re-gear.

My gas mileage dropped by 1mpg on the highway after Radix install.
Dropped from 18 to 17mpg.

Dood, your worrying about fule milage is like wen they wip the guys arm with alcohol b4 they giv him the lethal injection. Wats the point? The murderer is goin to die anyhow, and if yu save 10%, 10% of nuthing is still nuthing.

Mine went up too but I'm not sure if it's the Radix or the sum of parts allowing more efficient burn. Around town sucks for me but highway I'll get 18-22mpg depending on speed. Don't forget I have 4wd too.

I'm actually in the same situation with my truck. With lifted trucks like ours mileage is kind of a joke no matter what you do. I'll let you know in a month how the radix responds with my setup as far as mileage goes. It can't get much worse than the 13 mpg on a ( good day ) that I get in the summer.
