Stupid Question
I recently put a 6in. Lift with 35x13's on my 02 CC, FX4. I have a superchip programmer and gauges. My question is when I tow my 8 k trailer outta town, what type of mileage should I expect? Before the lift I was getting around 16 mpg @75mph when towing. Thanks for the help and putting up with the stupid question.

Are you sure you were getting 16 mpg before? Were you calculating your mileage by hand or going by the overhead? Without the lift or the big tires I get 10 - 11 mpg towing my travel trailer at 70 mph. If you have hand calculated your mileage (tuner or chip will mess up the overhead computer and make it read higher than your mileage really is) you are getting excellent mpg at those speeds. Back to your question, you will lose 1 -2 mpg by adding a lift and bigger tires.
