sounds a little on the low side... i'm averaging 18 with my 93 5 speed and 31s on a 3" lift. the 5 speed also uses 3.07 gears tho

Are you calculating the difference in mileage on your odometer because of you 32" tires? Unless you changed your speedo gear, you are actually getting better mileage than you think. I think you add something like 9% more miles to your total miles per tank w/ 32s. There's a link out there somewhere that has the exacts #'s.

Wow, just found out mine is about 8% off or around 3.5 MPH at my "average" driving speed. How do I know what size gear to get and is it hard to swap in?
