For some reason I SERIOUSLY doubt you're getting 29 hwy. Probably more like 20.

3.5" w/ 31 A/T's. On average I'm getting 15 city and 19 hwy. I've gotten as high as 16 city (accelerated like a snail) and 21 hwy (had a nice tail wind helping me out)

I think i'm averaging 15mpg with 50/50 city/hwy, but I just gave her a tune-up so I'll be recalculating with the next few tanks.

I have 3.5in lift with 31s and right now I'm getting a combined 12mpg. It's really pitiful...
