i just got back from a 600 mile trip. mostly high way but we did offroad up hill at a 10-16 degree for at like 10 mph or less. all high way driving was 65-70 mph with full gear and the RTT i avg 18.9 over the whole trip. On the way out on just highway 21-23 mpg. no complains as my Old silverado used to do the same trip at about 14.5 mpg without the RTT

I just watched a vid of a gladiator with 38s and everything modded out with a rooftop tent getting around 15 mpg. he did regearing and is getting 17 mpg. what the hake is going on with my jeep! haha. i have way less stuff on my jeep and only getting around 13.5 mpg

to much skinny pedal. or your running 75-80mpg. anything above 70 kills the MPG try running a tank of fuel at 65-70 MPH on cruise control. i bet you anything you gain alot of mpg. and dont wait to break at lights. cost into red lights. There is no reason to slam and jam every light and every stop sign :)

Wifes 18 Sahara, 3.6 Auto, pretty much stock save Volant Intake and Muffler delete, avg 22.5 for first 15K miles, off computer but it is within a couple tenths every time I compare to Milage/gallons.

My 20 Rubicon, stock save addition of LOD sliders and some LCA sliders, avg about 21.5 first 4000 miles. I deleted the muffler and gained about .5 mpg calculated last 1000 miles. Will see if trend continues.

I would guess as things break in better the mpg will get better, did so on the Sahara.

I'm averaging about 18 mpg; commute is 12 miles round trip, mostly highway but some lights. I think going for groceries and whatnot is really bringing it down.
