Last tank was 18.0 MPG on my 37x13.50r17 Ridge Grapplers.
The big drop down from 21 was expected - I did not keep my MPG display up on the dash intentionally, and drove for the entire tank like I was 16 and it was my first vehicle. Ok, maybe not that bad, I but hit it hard at almost every stoplight, had high speeds on the highway - I hit my own top speed in the JL of 90 MPH, and cruised at 75 MPH most of the time on the highway, sometimes 80.
I checked the MPG when I parked at the pump and all of that insane driving cost me only 3 MPGs over the opposite extreme of very conservative driving. Interesting.
I'm doing another tank of aggressive driving right now, and then might just do a normal drive and see where that lands.
