I dunno, i don't pay attention to my mileage. it's too painful sometimes. I can't remember the last time i filled the tank 100%....or if i ever did. But i estimate that i'm getting roughly 64 mpg........at idle.

With 235/60/18 (29X9.5X18) H/T (on-road) tires:
17 mpg on city trafic
19.5 mpg on highway
The money i save with this tires and the petrol price are very good for me. Now i have 3 kind of diferent whells+tires (4XM/T, 4XA/T 4XH/T) and i can use the right set for my moves
