That is unacceptable... Mine is a 4wd with 3.55's & oversized 75 series e-rated tires (worst combo) and I am getting 17's. I have a set of oem sized tires ready to go on sometime this winter & expect a 1~2 mpg bump because of the weight & size difference (speedo corrected, hand calculated). Truck rips pretty good for the combo that it has, way better then it was when stock.

Wish I knew how to make it better. It does have 193k miles on it so I just chalk it up to getting old and wore out. It does have a cold air intake on it.
