Fuel Mileage - Jeep Wrangler Rubicon - Xtreme Recon Edition

[macman1125]

What kind of fuel mileage are you getting with your new Rubicon Xtreme Recon package? I personally have not been getting what is advertised on the sticker but also didn't buy this thing for the mileage either. Currently I am getting closer to 14-15 MPG on mine but I only have about 1100 miles on it too.

Many, including myself, saw an improvement in mpg over the course of the 1st few to several thousand miles on the odometer.

I'm getting between 15-16 in the city. 17-18 on highway. I have just under 1200 miles. I was losing mpgs when my tire pressure was 33. I upped it to 35 and that seems to be a good balance for handling and mpgs for me. The shifting is getting smoother the more I drive it. I think the mpgs will improve with the breaking in. Take that FWIW, I don't know jack about cars. Just what I'm experiencing.

We are only averaging around 16. Mostly city driving but with winter gas in our area and tire pressures around 34 to 35 not much else we can do. 1200 miles.

Getting around 14-15 around town and ~20 on highway. I noticed my MPG dropped when I went down from 37 PSI to 35 on my tires.

Yeah, I have my tires set at 35psi so we are all experoincing about the same. I am looking forward to seeing the shift points improve as they feel like they are not shifting at the most optimal point. I feel they are just winding up higher than needed even when driving easy. I guess time will tell...

LOL, is there a longer name for a vehicle out there?

It really depends on your speed. If I recall correctly the window sticker highway calculations are done on a loop of 65mph roads

My 18 JLUR with stock tires is getting 15mpg for the entire life of my ownership. That's average of all the street, highway (17k), and little trail stuff (100 ish miles) I've driven. Disappointing, but understandable when you consider the weight of these beasts.

12.5MPG city/highway

Might be those 37s

I get about 14 MPG city or highway with the Rubi XR, it doesn't matter much how I drive it. I took it, and my 2007 Tundra 5.7 liter 2007 (2WD) on a 6 hour one-way trip and the Rubi XR used more fuel than the Tundra. The Tundra has always gotten about about 13.8 MPG. On rare occasion the Tundra might hit 16 or 17 on the highway. The Tundra has always been a gas hog, and I thought I would get a little break with the V6 gas Rubi, but it actually gets worse.
