The gears are the stock 4.10, I get roughly 150 miles on a full tank of fuel. That most I've ever gotten is 172 miles. With a 19 gallon fuel tank that comes out to 8-9 miles a gallon. If there is something I need to have checked out please let me know.

Is the speedo recalibrated for your aftermarket tires?

No I checked it with a couple speedometer/GPS apps and they both have it off by 3 Mph

That'll make the mileage you're using to calculate the tank vs trip off and make ur mpg seem worse but probably only by about 2mpg.

well there ya go. you need to track the mileage accurately and then calculate it. so that will give you and extra 2-3mpg. if you are using the gps to track milage and its still bad then check your spark plugs make sure they are gapped properly and have new wires,cap,rotor. maintaining that stuff might help. also faulty 02 sensors could make you run rich. 33's on stock gears is going to hurt the mpgs the most tho EDIT: just to be clear your 4.10s and 33's is an okay setup and should give you more mpgs then that. not saying you need to regear for better mpgs

Computer says Im averaging 12 right now. 37's and stock gears. My stupid overdirve button is stuck right now but Im hoping once I get that fixed or bypassed it will help. Right now its constantly searching for a gear on the highway.

JKU 2009, 2.8 Diesel VM (export), 83k miles, 3:73, 33", AT, Lift 2.5", manual, some metal:
- city: 18 mpg
- hway 80mph: 21 mpg
During our European tours with all the luggage fuel budget was followed on a combined 20 mpg.
But...
Diesel fuel price in Europe = 1.4 Euro/liter = 1.82 USD/liter = 3.785 l/gal x 1.82 USD/liter =
6.88 USD/gal of Diesel (!!!!!)

200miles to a tank is uber-bad! You're running stock right? Most of us on 37s are getting between 270 and 280 average. Something's wrong there Branko.
