Re: 35's New Rig!
I only have noticed 2-3 mpg difference, but i came from a 12mpg lincoln that only liked to dine on premium..so anything seems better than that. Also my odometer is off due to the increased size. I only notice the drag when pulling my boat uphill and even then I have a manual so I can downshift. I was worried about the acceleration decrease as well...it seems to affect some people more than others. Nomoyello has a great point though...you aren't going to win any races. When I put 33's on my 4-cyl wrangler I noticed a way bigger difference--5th gear was mostly unusable. The H3 is geared better and the difference to me is worth it.
