Just did some calculations, and according to them I got an average 15.8 MPG this last tank. considering this was hauling a trailer full of stuff, and my XJ was full of stuff on the highway, and then messing around at the event, and then driving around normally, and with my driving. I'm pretty happy with that.

that was also the first time i actually filled it up all the way since I've put the 33s on it. filled it up again tonight so we'll see what I get this time. I need to change spark plugs and wires soon so hopefully that will help even more.

But did you calculate for the 33s correctly since you dont have a speedo gear? Dont forget we did 60 mph the whole 1.5 hours home. Actually 40 mph for 30 minutes.

Figured out my vibration I think. Was talking to Oliver and he said to check to see if the balance came off of my rear drive shaft. I went and looked, there is no balancing weight anywhere on it. I dont think the guy balanced because I dont see a mark in the fresh paint either. Having it balanced tomorrow AM.

The weight came off my front one, the ds got pretty messed up when it landed on the FedEx truck. Those little weights are noticeable when they're missing.

yes I did take into account for the 33s. thats why i said with my calculations. if I didn't the mileage would be worse than what it was.
