Don't forget to select the manufacturer as jeep. And most important, add that 0 that I ate, lol. Sorry for that.

I skimmed through most of the posts on this thread and hopefully this hasn't already been addressed. I too noticed a big drop in fuel mileage about like you. I had recently bought new Toyo M/T's, had a new turbo installed, and the T/B and water pump changed. I thought for sure there was something major going on. To make a long story short, I put on the stock sized winter tires and our mileage went right back up to an "average" on the overhead consul to above 26 mpg and at highway speeds I'm at 30 mpg at 60 mph.

I think my Toyo tires are the same size as the ones you said you recently put on (see my signature). I assumed it wouldn't make that much of a difference but it does. Remember, the ratios are off even if you hand calculate each tank. The overhead consul reads an average of around 20 mpg with the Toyo M/T's.

On my Dodge Ram, I had the speedometer reprogrammed for my current tire size so everything meshes up.

Just my findings, hopefully this helps a little and saves you some money and heart ache.
