I have the stock 265/70R16's. Two of my buddy's with 3.73's run the same RPM pretty much. Thing is 3.73's arent even an option for mine. That MPG avg was over the entire 2200 mile trip to Texas from Maine. Not to shabby huh. LOL

The computed MPG is never real accurate on my rig. It always says I get 3-5 mpg better than when I do the actual math at fillups.

Mine has been within .2-.3 so far. My gas light doesnt come on till just over 600 miles on a tank, highway of course. Around town I only get 450 on a tank.
