Fuel Mileage

[ValorSolo]

I average 21-22 MPG in my JL running 60 MPH in 4th gear everywhere.
I only use 5th gear when I go 65 MPH or over. Hardly ever use 6st gear.
I've done some testing and I can get 27 MPG running 55 MPH in 4th gear.
I averaged 20 MPG running 60 MPH in 5th gear. Too much lag on inclines.
I'm pretty convinced that this is the best results this Jeep can achieve.
I'm plenty happy about the mileage I'm getting, even in today's market.

BTW, I have 35" MT Baja ATZ's. No lift. I think the no lift is important here.
It creates less drag. And looking awesome is a bonus.

What kind of mileage are you getting?

I get 17-18 on my automatic running between 70-80mph on my daily commute of 60 miles. That is with a 2.5" lift, heavy 35" Wildpeak M/Ts (79.6lbs per tire not including the rims, KO2's weigh just 66lbs and 37" KO2's weigh only 71lbs) and a Rubi with steel bumpers and other fun weight items.

Pretty sure 18 mpg is the best this vehicle gets with this setup --- according to the computer. I will add, I've noticed my computer calculations have been low be 1-2mpg..so I'm probably doing a little better in reality.

I do miss the mpg, I was getting with my 2 dr 2.0. I now recently acquired a 4 dr XR with the 3.6 , I am Getting 15.5 mpg. Hoping that gets better with some more miles!

If i calculated right, last fill up was 41. But its a 4XE and I know full well i need to be careful where i take it because if i run the battery out i would be lucky to do as well as the worst estimate listed here with the added weight.

I‘m hovering between 21-22 mpg with a Banks Pedal Monster set on City 6.

2dr “S”, 2.0, Rubi wheels and KO2’s, Rockhard bumpers/winch. Averaged 26.2 over the last 1k miles

I’m averaging about 17mpg. Steel skids, bumpers, winch, rock sliders, 35” E rated KM3 and icon rebound pros which put me around 103lbs per tire I believe. I’ve got a 3.6L with no etorque and live basically at sea level. Oh and stock 3.45 gears.

My JLUR is still pretty fresh at ~1700 miles. 6 speed, 3.6l, steel bumpers, winch, stock rubi tires, no lfit and I’m getting the advertised 19mpg through mixed distance and city driving. Long distance driving I can comfortably get 23mpg. I find 5th to be about useless, struggles to hold speed, doesn’t seem to save much on fuel economy on the more versatile 4th gear. This thing really should’ve been a 5 speed. I cant imagine ever needing to use 6th

Getting around 16.5 on the highway running Mickey Thompson M/T 35s here in my 2019 Rubicon Unlimited with an 8 speed auto. No lift here either.

I do have aftermarket steel bumpers and winch that add some weight.

My stock 2.0 Turbo is currently getting 26, which is the best I have ever seen. I find that not driving like an ahole helps. I have been sticking to or under the limit recently, not tailgating, etc. Also, no commute to speak of helps.
