What kind of MPG are you getting
I am running 4.10 gears and 31x10 tires 4.0 motor
and I'm getting 12 to 13 mpg is this about right
should it be more like 15 to 18
just asking so I don't go looking for problems I don't have
or maybe I do if 12 to 13 is bad

stock, 5 speed (though I only use 4), 4x4, with 4.0... If I keep my speed to about 40-45 I can usually get 18-19.. This is mostly driven to and from work with stop light/signs every mile.

That's on my lil stock '92. Just rollin' in 2WD with 38psi F/40psi R in summer.
I'll usually drop the air to around 34psi in winter and mileage stays the about the same until I throw it in 4WD.
Now, the '98 with the weird MAP sensor and the 31's on it gets about 12-15mpg city.

How are you figuring those numbers? Have you put in a new speedo gear to compensate for the bigger tires?
