A good morning to you as well Lydia!G’morning unicorn Jeep fam!
Been super busy & missing the fun in here.
Vida’s first snow!! Baby, it’s cooooold outside!
My mileage got better with the new tires, (315/70/17) Before my thruway driving at 70mph was lower (19) than my local driving (20). Perhaps the 410 gearing is the reason? Now 21+ thruway and 20+ local.
Wow!!! No way has Vida ever gotten close to that! How do you get that??? Lol. I’ve seen other people reporting great milage & I’m definitely not getting anything overly impressive. She beats the 11.5mpg bs from the JK loaner I had last week, though!!
That's after adjusting your speedometer? Or is there still some error due to tire size miss-match?
Stormie has a standard transmission, so when I'm in town I get her out of 1st gear at around 2000 rpm then do any accelerating in 2nd & 3rd gears; which helps my "city" gas mileage. When I'm crawling, I usually always do it in 2nd - sometimes in 3rd but that's usually too fast; 2nd gear is perfect for crawling the speed I need (about 8-10 mph). Then the rest is her just being a great Jeep! She loves the highway! I get her into 6th at about 60 mph and go from there!

Xmas time is approaching and my guess is, the price of this bag may go up at that time and availability may be an issue.
Just ordered. It is funny cause I was just thinking about this for an upcoming trip that I will need the seat out forXmas time is approaching and my guess is, the price of this bag may go up at that time and availability may be an issue.

Not sure how you’re doing this, since there aren’t many downhills where you are.My gas mileage is getting better and better as Stormie continues to get more broken in!
Thanks for the remind. Went ahead and got it. I’ll have to haul 3 other people around for the next 8 weeks, but after that I’ll likely pull the trigger and take seat down.Xmas time is approaching and my guess is, the price of this bag may go up at that time and availability may be an issue.

That would be nice, the crazy stop and go traffic in Austin has my Jeep about 16 mpg after 2500 miles.My gas mileage is getting better and better as Stormie continues to get more broken in!
Way easy to remove, but a tad awkward and heavy..
Hahahaha! I put that on my "less than $20 gifts" list a couple weeks ago!Xmas time is approaching and my guess is, the price of this bag may go up at that time and availability may be an issue.
