Mpg
I bought my Tacoma in Feb..When I bought it had 265/75/16 on it.Around town I was getting upper 18 and HWY/Interstate getting 21-22 mpg..About 2 months ago I put a lift on and still have same size tires..I am now getting 16.25 mpg around town and on the Interstate I am getting 17.50 mpg..I know I need to shim the axle to get the pinion level again could this cause the sudden drop in mpg..My understanding is bigger tires will cause mpg to drop I have the same size tire..I do have a vibration cause my driveshaft angle has changed I am thinking thats why they have drop..Pleaase give me some feedback on this..Thanks Patrick

What psi do run your tires at?
Maybe a check-up will diagnose the problem. Search around for things to do to get your MPG's back. Good luck.
