Over the 7000 mile the life of my Rubicon I am averaging 18.8 miles per gallon. I have made two trips from Memphis to Pittsburgh. The first trip I averaged 21.3 miles per gallon round trip. Last week I made the same trip and averaged 23.1 miles per gallon round trip. That is pretty much highway at 70 mph

Averaging 15 miles per gallon in my JLU Rubi with 1400 miles. Mostly city driving with 37” KO2s and 2” Mopar lift. Also have the hard top off and using a sun shade. My 2015 GC Summit Hemi only got 14 miles per gallon average on the same commute, so I’m okay with the 15.

a 75/45 split! No wonder you MPG is so good you are driving 120% of the miles.

I need some Help, I think something is definitely wrong with the car or th3 way my wife drives it, mostly in the city and we’re averaging 13.8 wtf. Anyone else having the same average in the city. Another thing I notice is that the car as were driving steady the rpm are revved up like around 3500 at a steady speed.
Does she drive in San Francisco? I'm asking because it says you're in Palo Alto. SF has crazy hills and my gas mileage is horrible when driving there. In Oakland I get about 16mpg.

I am t 1500 miles. With a mix of city driving and highway I am averaging 20.2 according to the dash. When I first got mine the mileage sucked. Like 12 to 13 mpg in the city. Every tank seems to be getting better though.
Why is that. I kind of see the same.

At 1800 miles I decided to reset the trip and went on a 2 hour ride cruising at 70 - 75 I got 17.5 to 18.5 before that I couldn't get over 16.5.

I have ask the dealer about this to get a solid average it needs to be reset after the first 5 - 10 fill ups for the ECM can learn your driving style it may be BS so far seems like it may be so.
