My last two tanks of gas I have been getting about 17.3mpg! But here is the weird thing with my 4runner, my gas light will come on having gone about 230 miles on the odo.which is about 264.8 miles (because of the tires 33's)and then I will only have to put in 15 gallons of gas. So the gas light comes on with about 4.5 gallons left? It doesn't seem right. 1998's do have 19.5 gallons tanks, right?

Just thought I would update everyone: Well I have had the lift on for about 5 months and I am 100% pleased with it. The rear coils have settled and it performs tremendously on and offroad. Also I am getting between 16-17MPG in the city. I have not had any problems with CV's whatsover, even though my CV's are 9 years old. Here are some some recent pictures, (sorry no clean ones)
