Default what's your gas mileage?

i wanna get some input from XJ owners on their mpg. i put a 4.5" lift and 31x10's on mine and my highway mpg went from 23 to about 16-17. now around town it's no better than 13-14. i just ordered the hypertech 3 for $380. i hope it wasn't money down the drain. wanna know what the other people are getting. i figured answering following would be a good base:
year:
mileage:
tire size:
driving style:
aftermarket:
city/highway ratio:

I get 12 MPG no matter how I drive it, so I'm usually driving it like I stole it. That includes 75% city and 25% highway driving.

Default MPG

Big tires and lift will kill MPG. Been there done that. One of lifes little lessons. Cut my old box bronco MPG in half or almost half.
