500 mile tank on an AWD 2.0EB with FX4 and 4K

[ShadowChas]

I've yet to get more than about 27-28MPG out of my 4k FX4 with the wildpeak offroad tires.

I suspect if I had some more 'eco' focused rubber I might be able to creep into the 30s.

I have the FX4 (all stock w/o eco mode) with the falken wildpeaks as well and regularly get over 30mpg's during my 75mph cruise to work/home daily, and sometimes close the 500 mile tanks when traveling the 55mph highways. i have almost 25k miles and use the cruise most everywhere and approx. 80% highway driving normally.

Maybe mine will loosen up and smooth out? LOL. I can hope, at least.

I wonder if it's the 4k tow, my lead foot, or the Colorado foothills killing my MPG.

Does anybody know if a tonneau cover helps or hurts mpg? I don't have a clue. I seem to recall some Car & Driver tests like last century.

I have a Diamondback hard cover and I can't tell if it made any difference..
