Another thing to take into consideration: if you are on bigger tires, your speedo is reading UNDER what it really is, unless you changed your speedo gear along with the bigger tires, which I assume close to nobody has done. So you're actually getting slightly better mileage than you think. I do mean slightly though.
That said, I'm sitting on 33s with stock gears and get about 12 MPGs. Basically all city driving though.
