Screenshot of the most recent fill ups. Add about 10% to fix the odometer (31s).

Nifty program bro.
First of all, you do realize we pilot lifted bricks right?

I got about the 15-17 city highway combined. And a little better when driving like grandma. It was a five speed too. Its all about using as little gas as possible, and not going too fast, to where you must slow down and stop, losing momentum. I changed my driving habits and saw vast improvements.

Cleaned the throttle body recently?
Ever ran sea foam through the intake? Brake booster?
Tires optimal pressure? Maybe go up a few psi. Less rolling resistance.

Uhh. Good air filter?
Fuel system cleaner?
Fuel filter?
Spark plugs gapped correctly?

Yea, I know the mileage isn't going to be great. I averaged 15 with 31s with my old jeep.

I cleaned the TB this weekend
Seafoam has been done

The rest I haven't checked in a while, but I am replacing all of the ignition system soon.
