Pardon the ignorance but why is MPG so low compared to a normal raptor? Bigger tires + bad aero?

My guess is gearing. What do I win?

Prior to the rebuild, with 37's and stock gears I was averaging 10.5 mpg on the highway at 80 mph and I the worst I ever got off-road was 4.5 mpg on a very fast 150 mile run around San Felipe. As far as the highway mileage now I would put it down to the truck is massive and has a ton of wind resistance.

Here are two quick videos we shot over the weekend in Glamis. As we all know video never really shows what the terrain looks like or the speed. These were about 2 1/2 foot whoops at 70 mph. The first one is a drive by and the second is Matt holding his IPhone. We plan on getting some good footage and putting something together in the future.
In the second video what you hear that makes the truck sound like such a POS is the bypass shocks. That is why you have to wear headsets when off-road to be able to talk. They also cancel out all the noise and you can barley hear the shocks anymore.
