For the conversation about gas mileage, why don't you fill up all the way and then reset your trip on your odometer, then the next time you fill up be it at 1/2 or 1/4 or less, divide how far you went (on your trip) by many gallons you put in and abra ka dabra you'll have your gas mileage.
I was getting about 19 before the 31s now I get around 16-17

Never really thought of this route but my Jeep is also my Daily Driver and not saying that a fab job won't look good but, a machine weld is alot nicer. Plus by the time I get someone to fab, get it powder coated etc I'm looking at the same/more money to get done.
By the way, this may sound very stupid but how do you guys calculate your MPG? I hear of people saying they get 17MPG, I don't see how thats possible as I believe i'm only getting 9-10. Do you guys run it to empty, fill it up and run it back down to Empty? Or is there a better/cheaper way.

Thats nothing. Mine were put on sideways and are complete "U"s.
That will work but if you fill it up all the way both times youll get a more average reading because youve driven a lot mode miles.
