My dash says I get over 30MPG.

My Fuelly says otherwise, currently around 25MPG combined after I put on 18" wheels with larger rolling resistance.

Keep in mind the dash gauge is estimating your mileage based on ECU conditions such as throttle position, O2 readings, knock/timing, etc. It will never actually be close to what you'd get in real world conditions, unless what you drive on daily is exactly what the computer fuel consumption map is like programmed from the factory.
