You geared your stick axels...... people bitch about why would you do that. I would like to I just would like my dealer to bless me and still honor the warranty. I’m trying for that we’ll see They put the lift and wheels on I simply saw the Jeep on the floor and liked it because of the addons but from day one I said it needs gears.
Everyone's situation is different, I don't care about the warranty to be frank. On my JK I made the mistake of putting gears off until the last mod, this time it was the first thing I did. I believe there is more to gain overall by re-gearing than any other mod. Just my 2 pennies worth.
That's about what I'm getting right now. 13.4 average about 220 ish on range. All city driving with a lot of time idling at a fast food drive thru and remote starts on cold mornings. If I take it down to 20-30 miles remaining on a tank I can put in about 14 gallons. Most it's ever taken is 14.5 gallons. I'm on 35's with 3" of lift and an auto tranny with 3.45 gears 2 door sport v6. Long highway trips average about 18 mpg @ 70-75 mph. I only have 2100 miles on it.
Me: 2019 Rubicon 2-door, V6, 2" lift with 35's, 4k miles total, overall average is about 14 mpg right now. 500 miles of that was with the stock tires. 2000 miles of that is with some heavier ProComp wheels that I will be ditching soon. Not sure how many miles of the 4k total were offroad, but probably around 800, and that is what really dips the fuel mileage. I am running Milestar Patagonias, and they were slightly lighter than the stock 33's that came on the Jeep. They are also considerably lighter than the tires that the OP is running. I think gearing and tire weight are your biggest issues. I feel that the 4.10's in mine are barely adequate for the 35's, if you want to actually use 8th gear on the highway.
You guys make me feel better. For now I’m gonna chill out and enjoy it. It’s not a daily and I gotta get some miles on her anyway. Just gonna pay her down stay on top of takin care of her and little things. Change the grill sv4 headlights morimoto fogs are first up. I’ll wait a bit but I’m gonna hear it and I’m not sure but I think 4.56 from what I’ve read but well see
We should stay in touch. I’ll let u know what happens. Thursday I’m gonna take a trip I just don’t know where but gonna waste some gas lol
Hahaha... no. I bought a Wrangler and the mileage sucks take it back. You signed a purchase contract. There is nothing wrong with the Jeep it's a brick on a brick. Deal with it or sell it
It’s my second my first was a jk. And ya can bring a car back thanks for your garbage insight. Merry Christmas thanks for your useless smart ass response hope you made ur self feel better by being a prick
I am in jersey I used lukoil not sure how that’s rates What would your suggestion for brand beWhat gas are you using? Cheap NJ gas? Delta or some no brand? Remember too, winter blend of gas in NJ gets poorer mileage, my Tacoma can vary 3-5 mpg lower during the winter months. I think you'll do just fine, put some miles on it and try a top tier fuel, you should see a difference. I have a 2 dr. JLR on order, it will be my DD, I hope to God it gets better than 12 mpg...
With your 4.10 gears do you see 8th gear a reasonable amount. I ask because you said barely adequate. Just wondering. If I’m gonna do it I’m probably looking at 4.56
Don't read too much into the smart-assed comments. I can be smart-assed too but, hey, it's still the Christmas season. Anyway, these guys that you say are giving you crap are also giving you the biggest reason for your dog-shit mpg so don't just totally dismiss them. Your biggest issue is undoubtedly the gears. The other stuff (re-calibrating the speedo for the tire size, playing with shift points, waiting for the Jeep to "learn", etc...) may show some minor improvements but you are very unlikely to see a dramatic difference until the gear change. You are just at a huge disadvantage right now trying to turn a much larger diameter tire with all of the extra weight and rolling resistance with those stock gears. Just enjoy the Jeep until you can get the gears and then worry about the gas mileage of a vehicle with the aerodynamics of a brick.
