I get about the same running premium on 33s with a front bumper. What helps the MPG a lot is either the seafoam treatment or the Complete BG treatment.

But first you want to make sure all your plugs/wires are good. That you are using a good oil, basic maintance stuff...

I've never checked before last weekend. 03 Disco II stock.We trailered our boat to the coast and I was very surprised when we got 13.3mpg. Our boat weighs about 3500lbs and we had the LR loaded with gear.
