Default Re: OK, now I really need advice on MPG!

I just installed Bilstein adjustable 5100's (set at 1.75" of lift) and threw on some 305/65/18 BFG A/T KO's and went from 15MPG to 12MPG (this is accounting for the 4.8% difference in speedo between stock tires and new ones)

The tires are the real killer... I had the lift on for a couple of weeks before I bought the tires and my mileage stayed the same. However, once I put the new tires on I lost HUGE mileage. Kind of a bummer since the tires themselves cost $315.00 each with the added benefit of draining my wallet more then I expected at the pump.
