I have to, plan trips out that way. Usually keep a quarter tank in my other gas tank to make it home if I run out. Lol.

If I hit the throttle to burn the tires a little you can WATCH the gas gauge go down. And its not sloshing gas, it won't go back up. Haha.

thats not fun... I dont have it that bad, but when im playin in the mud, you can watch it drop, usually cause im near 4k at all times in the mud. Good bye gasoline.

I do the same thing, i keep about a 1/4 to 1/8th tank in one tank to get me back incase i run the rear out. Its always the front that i leave it in. So i dont get confused.

My rear gauge is messed up. Its not entirely accurate. And it bounces alot, my front tank has a working gauge but I can't fill it up. Something wrong with the filler hose. I messed it up when I put the new bed on. Might have put the wrong hose on, or kinked the breather line. Not sure.

This went so far from "BFG A/Ts suck" hahaha.

Not entirely... It went from how much bfg a/t's suck to upgrading and bigger tires to how the bigger tires effect gas mileage.

Doesnt really look goofy looking, its pretty nice. I wasnt planning on the lift but I had all ready purchased the tires. The lift was pretty cheap so yeah it was one of those buys. look at the pictures and I dont think it looks goofy.

Its the tires, if I was running 36-38" tires it would look higher, so with 33's its just taller than my buddies 05 F150 FX4 with 6" Fabtech lift on 35's

So would going from a 33" to a 38" tire give me better or worse gas mileage?
