I'm looking forward to Lite-Brite buying one, ripping out the motor, and swapping in a V-12 and calling it Immortan Joe's War Rig.
That would be cool. I'll forward him the suggestion!!!
They ordered their Bronco so that will be fun to watch too!

I average 9.5 mpg on my premium fuel burning little 2013 JK 2dr RIPP SC 6 speed manual and i dont drive conservative. I doubt there’s going to be any better MPG driving my new 392.

Is there going to be a gas guzzling tax? I thought there wasn’t going to be one. But now I’m hearing there might be one?

If you can afford the $75k+ price tag then who gives a rats a** about what the mpg is or cost per year in addition gas.

Anyways there will be plenty more hybrid and electric vehicles being pushed on us soon by the current US Admin to save the “environment” which in turn will leave a surplus of gas for big block Jeeps, Dodges and Fords to burn. And heck each big $$$$ big block does more then their part for the US economy then two or three small hybrids or electric vehicles. The big blocks provide far more in gas taxes, registration fees and sales taxes. Which all our local and state governments need to fund road and transportation improvements.

California learned this lesson to the tune of over $2 BILLION in LOST gas taxes and registration fees during the big push for small cheap fuel efficient hybrids five or so years ago. Now they add an additional fee to hybrid and electric car registrations to make up for the loss in gas taxes and also hugely increased the registration fees for everyone else. All thanks to small cheap hybrid and electric vehicles!!!!

So I say big blocks are the solution not the problem and will thank everyone that buys one for doing more then their part in providing for a solid tax base for everyone to benefit from.

You sound like a dangerous climate blasphemer.

Better then what I have been getting with my 2008 JLU with van engine and 35’s for the last 10+ years. Love it, don’t care, is what-it-is, happy and privileged to be able to own one, future 392’s will probably be banned within 5 years, god bless America.....

These numbers make sense and what would be expected. They are about 1 mpg lower than the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SRTs.

In reality it will be 9 or so or course for those 3.6 people that claim they get 30 with their 3.6 those folks will get like 23 in their 392's. I wish this was legit as that is what I get with my 3.6 2018 JLUR and I don't drive aggressive.
Actually that "EPA" sheet is what I see with a 3.6 auto so yeah I call BS.
