has your mileage dropped during the winter months seems like it was posted on here some where that fuel mileage goes down in the winter because of the fuel blend and i always get 15 in my 1st gen

going from 33's im guessing they were on stock rims, to lifted and having 20's and 37s which are some heavy *** tires will drop the mileage down.

my dads 6.0 ford has a 4 inch lift 20's and 36's and it gets about 13 mpg.

it had 20s with the 33s so i didnt think it would drop near as much an maybe because of the winter months but i live in texas the winter here isnt very severe i wouldnt think they would even change the blend for a texas winter
