Even with 35’s that seems bad. Like something wrong bad unless your out doing brake stands at every stop sign.

I seem to remember that Top Gear episode where they flogged a Prius around the track and followed in a 3 series. The BMW got better mileage!

I drove my Ranger 5 spd like a Miata with a big trunk, the JTR isn't that flingable, but that number seems reasonable for a certain style of driving.

9.4mpg..... I should learn to drive better... nah!

35’s and a 2in lift. I’m in a small town in TN where there are hills everywhere. If something is wrong I have no idea what it would be 🤷🏾‍♂️

Stock, auto, no lift, about 400 miles per tank. It does better when traveling, a little worse just around town.

when I top off it tells me 290ish... does the computer calculate the lift and 35’s for the range?

I bought a truck off of my cousin one time. He owned it for about 2 years and beat the snot out of it. I don't think he ever stoped at a light or a stop sign without roasting the tires.

At the time Grandpa owned a small garage that supplied tires for the state troopers. We could get a nice set of used trooper tires for $10 from Grandpa and he would even help us put them on. I payed $700 for that truck and put close to 100K miles on it thanks to Grandpa's shop. Man I miss that truck and my Grandpa.

If you did the programming update to tell it the correct tire size, it will adjust for that. There is no adjustment for the lift.

Did you change the tire size with a programer or through a dealer? The computer does not just pick that info up on its own.
