Very helpful for owners to post their numbers. I think it would also beneficial to state manual or automatic. Thank you!

Per the computer 19.4. That’s 4 days per week @ 21 miles each way (42 per day) highway around 75 mph for approximately 17 of those miles each way. Off road have gotten anywhere from 4-17mpg. Overall I would say the truck, normal driving is near 19-20 mpg regular use.

I drive mostly Around town in the Rubicon and I get around 20 mpg. On the highway at 65 to 70 mph, I usually average around 22 to 23. That’s fairly consistent and I have nearly 13,000 miles on it

And engine option, 2.0 turbo or 3.6, stock tires or height.

Recently on a 3700 miles road trip (which was the break in period, left town with 789 miles on the OD) we averaged about 13.61397mpg (highway/city/off roading). That is with a family of four with clothing, misc gear and tools in a mildly built JLU Rubicon on 37's with 4.10's weighing in at 6100lbs.

Now that I'm back home and the OD has crept up on 6000 miles I'm averaging around 16mpg+/- with a mix of highway and city driving.

Is that 6100 with the family and gear in it or empty? Over 3 tons empty is HEAVY. Surprised any of us are getting double digit mileage if that's the case.
Correct, 6100lbs was with two adults, one teen, one 6yo, clothes, tools, electronics and a small cooler. It's kind of funny the looks you get when you scale a Jeep at a truck stop in rural Nebraska. :like:
