Re: MPG questions.

Your tire pressure is way low for E rated tires. I run 80 psi and my truck is very sensitive to that.

A lot of it is your configuration.

Crew cabs are heavy and that costs you some MPG.
4x4 costs you 2 MPG over 4x2.
The automatic robs you of 2 MPG.

If MPG is important to you, don't put bigger tires on it and lift it.
