Have you "high milers" actually calculated your average mileage and compared it to the overhead console?

Mine isn't even close. Overhead says 18.1 while actual is 13.3

I have big tires, lift, etc. so I expect lower mileage, but 24MPG? Hard to believe.

Without my chip installed, my overhead display is pretty much right on in its mileage estimate. It says 17.3 and that's about what I get give or take 0.1-0.2 MPG.

With my chip installed, my overhead display would read 23-24 MPG when in actuality it was more like 15-16 MPG.

Scott,
just a thought...
have you had your speedo recalibrated for the larger tires ???
That would make a BIG difference in both the mpg AND the speedo readings...
