Maybe it's the 9mph leeway given in the company vehicles (GPS monitored), the fact that I've never been pulled over for less than 10mph, or just my personality of pushing the limits, but I pretty much default to setting the cruise control 5-10mph over the speed limit. If it's an 80mph zone I might even bump it up to 90.
I find it to be a skewed comparison of two engines when there is such a big difference between the vehicles and type of travel they are used for. His comparison isn't even a JL vs a JL.
So you got a 392?I find it to be a skewed comparison of two engines when there is such a big difference between the vehicles and type of travel they are used for. His comparison isn't even a JL vs a JL.
Heck, I am getting 2 mpg difference between running a load C vs load D tire of the same tire brand and size on the same Jeep on the same daily driving route...so the last thing I would do is compare my mpg with a completely different vehicle and blame the difference on the engine. Does a 2.0L get better mpg, probably. Does it get 30% better, I highly doubt it. Do I drive a Jeep for the mpg? No. Do I want one with an engine that sounds like a lawnmower? Absolutely not.
I mean they both sound like hammered dog ass pretending the v6 is some gods gift to engine note because you think 4 cylinders give you low t isnt the flex you think it is.
I know reading is hard, but our 2019 JL had the 2.0t and 38s, same lift height, same front bumper, same winch as our 2022 JL with the 3.6L. The 2022 is on 39s but otherwise the same. The 2019 was a couple hundred pounds heavier. The 38s were 13.50s and the 39s are 12.50s. I'd argue between the weight and the tire width the rolling resistance and aerodynamics are damn near identical. Driven the same, the 2.0t got significantly better fuel economy. My point was the gladiator with 37s returns the same fuel economy as the JL with the 3.6L on 39s. That was pointed out to dispel any notion that the 2.0t was only getting better fuel economy because of the slightly smaller tires.I find it to be a skewed comparison of two engines when there is such a big difference between the vehicles and type of travel they are used for.

The jealousy is just OOZING in this post Terry. You're just mad you can't do this
So did your JEEP come with the special over size BALL RACK
There’s no way I would cruise at 90 in my JEEP. When I was young yeah but not now.
Hell the JT hits the 100mph limiter in the dirt regularly out in the desert. The big rigs pulling triples across UT are rolling 85mph. It's a fast cry from the YJ days.So did your JEEP come with the special over size BALL RACK
It's ok to be scared, stick to the malls and 70 on the freeway where it's safe...
I'm laughing because you said you do 100mph "regulary in the JT" when just a few pages back you said:
FYI, you have to have a good memory if you want to be a liar.
Rarely gets driven outside of the regular trips to our AZ property... which is in the desert? I didn't say daily, but every 4-6 weeks we are roadtripping 600 miles each way with the cruise control set at 85 and doing hundreds of miles in the desert. It's a 2023 and it's got 48k miles on it despite sitting in the driveway for weeks at a time, so yes I'd call that regularly. You have to actually catch me in a lie vs just having poor reading comprehension if you want to call me a liar.
