[QUOTE="Anybodyhome, post: 443292, member: 19161"] I think mileage is a very overrated measurable across the board. I'm 65 and owned plenty of vehicles in my lifetime. I've never made a decision on what vehicle to buy based on gas mileage. It doesn't matter to me, I still drive and I still have to go places. The comfort, use, aesthetics and are far more important to me. When you're 6'6" and hovering close to 300lbs, there aren't many mileage conscious vehicles out there that I drive comfortably. Consequently, a couple Tahoes, an Expedition and another Jeep were in my stables at different times since 1995. If I was concerned about mileage, I wouldn't own a Jeep. There are a lot more reasons than gas mileage not to own a Jeep for the vast majority of car owners, so for those of us who do own them, mileage is just another one of those things to complain about. None of the other vehicles I've owned in the past 25 years were all that on gas mileage either, so.... And when it comes to tires and gas mileage, there have been plenty of threads here that talk about airing down MTs to get a better ride. When you have a 34psi MT tire and air it down below 30 somewhere to improve the ride quality, you're going to sacrifice mileage. [/QUOTE]
