I got my jeep in mid-September, and since the computer has tracked mileage, and it has varied, from 18.3 to 20.1, and often in a single drive to work (19 miles), it could vary as must as 1 -1.3 MPG. Yes I saw 20.1 leaving my house and could see 18.7 or 18.8 during my trip.
Mid-January, tourist season started and my drives take much longer, and the computer MPG dropped to averaging around 19.3, but still varied as much as 1 - 1.3 MPG per trip.
Last week I got new wheels and 33" tires, and installed a Tazer. over a few drives, I adjusted my tire size and sync'd my Jeep speedometer to a couple GPS speedometers on my phone.
First, my computer MPG has dropped to 17.9, which I expected a drop, but what I didn't expect is that since adjusting the tire size with the Tazer, the computer only ever varies by 0.2 or 0.3 mpg anymore.
For the record, Autosist tracks my mileage as around in the 17.9 to 18.3 per tank range.
I found it strange that literally, the day I got the tire and installed the Tazer, the computer MPG stabilized. I had never had a vehicle that varied as wildly as the Jeep did.
