Really BAD MPG
#23
Ya that depends what tires you go with though. I know a handful of guys that went with 35" duratracs, and their mileage didn't move one bit on the highway. But thats with duratracs, the tires taken directly from Gods chariot. With more meaty tires, such as MT's, mpg will def go down.

There are lots of guys I've talked to that have speed corrected themselves and they get 18-19mpg highway with over 400miles per tank. I currently get about 430ish miles per tank highway. Not EVERYBODY gets the same mileage, but the people that drive sensibly and know how to measure their mileage say they get similar to stock. The duratracs are an at, so they aren't as gas guzzling as an MT.
EDIT: In fact, I just found one. Look up surfin coastie; he gets 18mpg highway all day long with his 35" duratracs. Although he gets 14mpg city.

Dont b*tch at me, why dont you actually consult the people with 35's that calculate their mileage, and talk to them about it? Starting with surfin coastie, because I've had a talk with him about it and he can give you all the numbers and data you want regarding his 18mpg highway with 35's.

This part of your statement is true......if we were driving in a vacuum, with zero friction. The fact remains it take greater torque to get you/keep you moving, which results in greater fuel consumption.
