I've got the same setup as you except with a full exhaust and I'm seeing an average of 11 to 12.5 MPG. It sucks, but I guess that's the nature of the beast. You should consider getting yourself a bike for the warmer months to compensate man, it help a lot.

I saw a HUGE increase in people suggesting this right after I saw a certain TV program suggest it.
I lauged when I saw it on TV, and I have to laugh now.
If you need a gauge to teach you how to drive to get better gas mileage, you really need help in other places as well.

I got 31x12.5 with 15x10 wheels and I avg 13 mpg city. The extra 2 inch has to hurt plus its heavier. You could prolly brings urs up cleaning and freshening some parts.

Well with 4.10 gears,4.6 inch lift, and 31s my 99 is getting right at 14mpg I'm sure if my wife drove this daily it get way better but she hates climbing in with no side steps so it gets what it gets and Im happy about it.
