I get about 21mpg highway with 31s and 3.55 I love it. Sure I might have to spin a little on the rocks but it's worth it. 4.10 and 33s would be slightly closer to stock gearing so I'm expecting about 20mpg and less wheel spin.

Mine is bone stock engine wise. Running 32x11.5 with 3.55s and I always get in the 12-13mpg range. And I'm far from lead footed.

In a hilly environment? I would expect 14/18 if I was running stock gearing and 32/11.50

Well j was scrolling Craigslist and found a set of 76 f250 axles which are a 44 and 60 which is what I want but the front was closed knuckle which was a deal breaker. They were cheap too

Fuel injectors with nozzles with more holes help with combustion efficiency. Those Volvo injectors or the neon injectors are a common upgrade for fuel efficiency
