How on earth do you guy get over 15mpg? I can barely get 14mpg and I've replaced everything I can think of that would give me crap mileage...air filter, oil change, spark plugs.

I got 19.9 highway last month on one camping trip, had the back FULL of camping gear(200# of wood easy and 2 coolers full of stuff). mixed driving around 16-18 mpg. Mine is a stock 2000 with 94,000 running 225/75/15. I'm want to lift is with a BB and put some 235's or 30's on it, hope the MPG won't suffer much.

I get 18-19 highway and 15-16 city in mine. I think that's pretty good for running 30x9.5 all terrains.

I have a 96 that just turned over 136K, and is completely stock. I get 11-12 combined, my city/ highway distances are about the same. I also don't "baby" the gas pedal

That's the one thing I haven't changed out yet. Is there any way to check it without having to replace it? And where is that doggone thing?
