@BobbyC40 Very encouraging to see a number in the mid-twenties

Can you give us any details on your JL?

Which model?
6-speed or auto?
AT tires or AS tires?

And I assume this occurred in 2-wheel drive, downhill, with a tailwind, and driven like my grandmother

Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport S

AT tires.
I have about 75 miles round trip from my place to work. Early morning no traffic, but driving back I get that wonderful Los Angeles traffic.

I do not let my gas tank run down to E and just troop around.

The fuel pump is in fact cooled by the gas in the tank, so running the tank to E leaves less gas in the tank to properly cool fuel the pump...As a result is lets say hard on the fuel pump / may affect longevity of it. This concern is even more pronounced when driving in very warm/hot weather.

I don't usually run on E, this was just to see what I can get out of one full tank. By the way, the tank filled up with just slightly over 19 gallons.

I hear ya... I posted mainly so guys/gals do know that E and fuel pump is a bad combo in hot weather.

I was interested in what you had to say about your mpg. Decent but it will undoubtedly get a little better in time.

Hey guys,

Took my manual rubicon from Arizona to California and averaged 16 mpg at 75 mph on flat surface. Seems worse than my jk

I have been getting 23 avg in my manual sport when eyeing the MPG. @jpb at 75 on flat surface you should be getting upwards of 23 without trying. I don't know how much of a difference to expect between the rubicon and the sport but that seems a bit high.
