Default What kind of gas mileage with 33s

I have a 2000 cherokee sport with a 4.5 inch lift and 33x12.50s. Currently im gettin maybe 10 miles to a gallon and it got way better mileage with them in the past. I have a intake and exhaust on it. Wondering what other people are gettin with the same size tires and any input on the subject. My mileage is in 2wd.

Wish I could give u an apples to apples comparison...oh wait no I don't I love my zj...anyway I am at 4" with 32's and getting 15 on avg with my 4.0 and a freed up air flow in and out...that is a city driving average over 3k miles without compensating for tire size...I would stop by your favorite auto parts store and put a scanner on it and see what it says...10 sounds a little low but depends on how heavy your foot is
