first thing I'd check would be you install! immediately after haveing the ICEBOX installed, my highway mileage went up a mile or two per gallon ... but it also seems that as soon as I went from the stock 215/50/17's to the 235/45/17's, my mileage dropped back to where it normally was, which is still over 29mpg on the highway (virtually all highway miles). however, the tires were mounted about the time summer finally arrived so my drop could be due to the higher temp's and once fall returns my mileage will go up again?

how many miles are on it.... Maybe there might be build up in the engine.... Put a bottle of Fuel Injection Cleaner in the gas tank next time you fill up.... That might solve the problem...
