Right now I am at 16.2 for my average. I am still not sure if it is as good or bad as my hemi grand cherokee. Although this is way more fun and I feel the torque is there where it wasnt on the GC.

After 5K miles my JLUR finally made it into the 17 MPG club. It's been mostly highway miles so far but I have a "lead foot." I've been paying a lot more attention to my driving habits as I've found this vehicle is more sensitive to my driving habits.

So basically all the aluminum weight savings, the raked windshield, ESS, KO2’s instead of MTs, and the JL Rubicon gets the same gas mileage as the Jk Rubicon.

probably to many variables to make a direct comparison, city vs highway, temperature, air conditioning, windows down, tops off, number of passengers, mountain vs flat roads, driving at speed limit, I've seen as much as 24-25 on the highway at 55 mph on a slight decline, but nothing I could maintain for a long time. Personally I am happy to be using regular gas, I've easily had over 15 vehicles in the last 25 years and they all used premium fuel, so that alone is a fuel savings for me....

Picked up a stock JLUR, and after 150 miles of roughly 50/50 city/highway driving and being relatively light with the gas, I'm averaging 17.5 mpg.

33" tires vs 31" tires so it is not a direct comparison.
