is this right?

23-25 sounds GREAT I usually get about 14 but this last tank it went down to about 10. Probably had to do with the fact that I used the remote start to let it warm up.

I wish I could get 23 mpg!! I just got my 2003 XLT and I have been getting 9-10 but of course it is a V8 with AWD and letting it warm up for 15 minutes doesn't help. Hopefully it gets better when it gets warmer out.
 






You got some pizza cutters on that thing? Whatever that is some great MPG.
 






no pizza cutters but for now im runnin little 235 75 r 15's. I just got my 32" Dueler M/Ts so we will se how gas mileage goes now... i did notice that instead of getting a about 125 on a quarter tank im down to 115ish... could just be that i was running 90mph coming back from some late night wheeling trip though.
 






I actually saw little to no difference between my 225/70 to 30x9.5 I thingk gearing is the big variable there, and may be part of your good gas mileage, check the door tag, and let us know what you got I am curious.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I'm not nearly that desperate.

The damn thing wouln't even make it out of my driveway in the winter!

THX for the welcome. I will be back often. You can count on it!

NOTE: I just got back from the same route that I got 24+ last time. Well... this time I only managed 19. I attribute it to it being 70 degrees colder.
 






I'm gettin 11mpg .i got 3.73's with LS. Is it just me or is that kind of low ??? i dont let it warm up that long when i do.... and i make short trips. The open autozone air filter probably isnt helping either.
 






I am luck to get 220 miles to a tank w/ the AWD
 






All of you getting low gas mileage how long has it been since you had the 02 sensors replaced, the EGR valve, and the fuel filter?

Have you had a tune up, your timing could be off a degree or less and cause big mileage drops.

Do you drive with overdrive off on the highway?

just some suggestions.
 






I get 25 mpg with 3.9 gears







oh thats' my subaru daily driver the x gets 12.5-15 mpg
