Man I wish I wasn't such a chicken **** and just go ahead and blow the warranty with the mods I want. But at 14K miles I do need new tires. The damn thing is fun to drive. LOL

I average 15 for the tank around town, 14 or 13.x if I play a bit. I don't drive on the highway often enough for credible mpg feedback. I have an Airaid Jr and a tune, CCSB 4x4 with 3.73s on 33-inch Duratracs.
