How is everyone getting these mpg's , the best I got was 18.7

I get 21 in the country. 20+ at 70 mph on the thruway in a Rubicon with a 4.10 diff. The Sport has a 3.45 diff and 23 or so should be common. What are you driving?

Sgned endless papers at the dealer...
Then finally got it home where it belongs!

Looking good and the car as well!

That's a 1969 Ford Fairlane Cobra. Color is indian fire metallic.

Indian Fire Metallic would make a fine Jeep color!

Hey Fred--- I can show you 35.5 mpg. Just back off coast to a stop and take your pic.

Nice capture! What camera are you using?

Thanks Jimmy! I used my Nikon D500 with a Tameron 150-600 mm G2 lens @ 600 mm.

What a gorgeous shot!

Thanks Alex! The little one finally jumped too, but this shot turned out the best.

According to an email from FCA I received today, my 2.0L 2-door Rubi is expected to be delivered between 8/29 and 9/3.
I’ll believe it when I see it, but I’m cautiously optimistic!

A 2 door 2.0L will be sweet I think. I have 2 door pentastar, and I think it’s a bit get up and goer than the heavier 4 doors. Hoping the email is accurate, and you can tell us how fast and fun it is!

Has anyone installed a light bar? Looking for some help. I have a 40 inch light bar left over from my last truck , but I can't see where to run the wires through the firewall . Anyone have any ideas?

I installed CB and had to run power to the battery. There is a rubber spot through the firewall just below the battery. Watch this video, starting at 9:30 they go through this spot.

If you are in the right place at the right time, this is what you can do with the windshield down!! (It helps to have a decent camera too! Lol!)
Got this yesterday while driving down a little country road.

Nice, I was going to ask the mountain lion that made a pass by my house to stop for a picture by my Jeep but I changed my mind at the last minute :p

Thanks - you and me both!

That’s great MPG for a Wrangler! And if I’m not mistaken you have a 3.6, not a 2.0 correct? You must not spend a lot of time in city traffic!

I do alot of short drives at a 45 degree angle in the hills. I think the jeep loves spending most of its life at these angles, but its not good for mpg.

I guess it really does not matter as my total gas usage is low.

45 degrees sounds like fun - and great mpg on the way down!
The road leading to my house has 22-23 degrees for sustained periods, and that already gives white knuckles to friends who visit for the first time...

Outstanding!
Funny thing though, by the time I got that email, Stormie had already been on the lot for a couple days! Wouldn't hurt to give them a call.

One laying on your hood would be a nice shot! Lol!
