No matter what you do or buy you're not going to get much better than about 1 mpg more than what you're currently seeing. Sure you could add a CAI and programmer and maybe see that extra 1 mpg, but you're going to pay $500 or more and you'll never recoup that money in gas savings. If you wanted good gas mileage you should have never added the leveling kit and larger tires.

On my 2007 STX 4x4 i put factory 20" ford wheels on it with Pirrelli Scorpions and i average around 15 on mine. i do mostly city driving since i work so close to home, but i would also like to have the leveling kit installed, but don't want lower gas mileage either. if it does make a difference does anyone have comparrison numbers from before and after the leveling kit?

Inaugural TOTM
not buying those 2 mods alone gave you 5 mpg better.
