My truck used to get great gas mileage on the interstate doing 73-75 mph. I made a full 5 1/2 hour trip to the beach in it and got down there with a third of a tank left, but now, when i drive it 30 minutes to school and 30 back it uses a full quarter a tank. I haven't changed a thing on my truck in that time but its just decided to turn on me haha. Used to when i filled it up it would stay on full for an hours worth on the interstate, now, maybe...10 minutes

If u go bigger say u have stock tires 265-60-16 and go up 2 sizes 285-60-16 and your speedo reading 60 mph u really @ 58.3mph if u don't recalibrate speedo u will think u r getting better mpg is most peoples problem and @ 140mph on speedo u really @ 135.5mph not that anyone drives that fast in U.S.A.
