Now, if I can just solve the reduced mpg.
I'm sure the mileage will improve. On the bright side, at least it's not getting 12.5mpg like my Durango, lol. But, I'll admit, I didn't buy it for fuel economy, as it's my weekend work machine. After I threw on a 52mm TB (stock is 50mm), high mileage improved to 18.8mpg @55mph...not to bad with a larger bore 5.9L V8 and low gearing.

Just curious, but you didn't throw on new(er) tires lately with a more aggressive tread have you? I noticed a large mpg loss when I did that last winter, not much around town, but 2-3mpg highway it dropped undoubtedly due to aerodynamic drag and additional rotational mass. Yee haw.
