Only getting 17mpg

Based on the comments in this forum, this seems to be the math...
FE Style roof rack = -4 MPG
BFG All Terrain Tires = -2 MPG

Based on that math, if you can get 21 MPG on a LC LC, you add the FE roof rack that drops to 17 MPG. Add BFG KO2 AT Tires and it drops again to 15 MPG.

Anybody with a FE getting more than 17 MPG?
I have an fe with continental at's. Here is my milage at slightly over 2k now

I had the dealer put on BFG KO2's before I picked up my Land Cruiser FE. They are the same size as the stock (265 70 R18) but I am only getting 17mpg. I have around 2500 miles now and it has not changed. Any one else having the same issue?
Yes, same with me. I reset the trip meter mpg fuel gauge at every fill. 1500 miles and averaging 17 mpg or less. I haven't been on any road trips yet so I can't address highway mileage. Additionally, I keep the LC in Eco mode. The mileage is about 40% less than the advertised MPG for combined city/highway driving. Not thrilled at all about this.

I have a stock FE with 2.5K on the odometer. Best I've ever seen is 18.3 MPG under ideal conditions. Have always run with 91 CA fuel. Typical MPG is 17.
