Re: OK, now I really need advice on MPG!
Just gotta live with it. I see 12 with my grille guard (112 lbs) and my 285/65/18. You could probably gain some extra mpg with the 285/65/18 but it's really not worth it, specially if you have to spend another $1400 and then sell your current ones, which you probably paid out the @$$ for.
Long and short of it, with every action there is a consequence. You need a lift and big tires, you will get extra rolling mass and extra wind resistance. Nothing you can do about it, except stop at every other gas station you see. These tanks are just too small to do any driving with 'em.
I drove a brand new '09 F150 SCrew Lariat 4wd with 531 miles on the clock. It was averaging 10.5 mpg and STILL had 331 miles left on the tank WITH 1/4 of the tank gone. I can't get 300 miles out of my tank ON THE HIGHWAY!
