I wish I had more data to give other than my word, but it's all I have. I drive the same route everyday. Very little (if any at all) "errand running". 120-130 miles a day/5 days (depending on the job site) a week for the last 20+ years. 10 years with the Ranger. Every time I fill up it's been within .25/gallon for the tank. A quart of fuel difference in a 12-13 gallon fill shouldn't be cause for too much concern. Before the new rim and tire combination I was doing better, but I have gotten a consistent 28mpg (+/- <1mpg) since the new "shoes".

Again, maybe the truck is having to re-learn something as I have seen improvement since the first abysmal 22mpg until now at a shade better than the 28mpg I was getting before all the work and re-work. I guess only time will tell at this point.
