I'm still confused about the gearing thing. My Jeep came from the PO with 4.88 gears on the BFG KO2 315/70R17s. Which I guess are technically 34.5"
I got 13.1 MPG with a mix of city and highway. And I can EASILY cruise down the highway at 70 MPH. It takes some time to get up to speed, but the Jeep is a big ass box being pushed down the road.
I just came home from a drive on Saturday and I'll need to fill up to check the 100% highway mileage. I'll try to report that back tomorrow.
Don't you lose some lower-end performance by gearing up as high as possible?
