MPG'S!!!

[GeckoJosh]

Took the new JLU with the just over 500 miles I put on the odometer on her 1st road trip. 408 miles round-trip from PA to Harpers Ferry...finished with 29.2 MPG average...the little turbo that could!! And the pep in the step on the interstate was noticeable compared to the V6 JKU I had before.

The little turbo does not like heavy 35 nitto rgs, heavy fuel wheels and city driving. = 16.2 mpg

I get 15 mpg with my MT 3.6. But in 3rd and fourth so much power I can't resist. Then at 6th at 2250 rpm she just goes when you want to.

If I keep it between 55mpg & 65mph I regularly get 25mpg on the highways with our 2-Door 3.6 Auto trans. Running it at 70mph and higher drops the mpg considerably.

Best,

i used to get like 28 freeway on my sport 2D JL stock. Now with a rubi suspension,33 M/T, winch and metal bumpers I dont even look at my MPGs . i think last time I looked it was around 20~22 freeway which is pretty decent. But city it is like 16.

New JLU owner, just did a 500 roundtrip road trip, NY to Boston. Was surprised to see I was getting 20mpg. Helps that it was all highways.

Last decent road trip with my JLURD got 31.6

Round trip from Culpeper Va to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. The trip photo also includes a couple of days of red light hell driving in the area, and running out to Wears Valley and Cades Cove a few times.

By no means was I feathering the throttle, drafting behind tractor trailers, or counting on a constant tail wind as I was driving in the hills of Appalachia.

MPG on my Sahara V6 with Selec-Trac has fallen dramatically since I mounted 35s on it and recalibrated the speedometer.

I took the Jeep on the freeway for the first time in a long time: the transmission didn’t get into 8th speed once, even at 75 MPH. It hovered between 3rd and 6th gears most of the time.

I haven’t checked, but my guess is I must be averaging around 15-16 MPG, judging by how fast my fuel tank empties these days. That’s roughly the same I was getting on my JKs on 35s.

I can only imagine the horrid fuel economy I’d be getting if it had the XR package with 35s and 4.88 gearing.

I connected the Tazer mini to my wrangler and found that the system is listing the tire size as 33.2", but I have physically measured it to be exactly 32" (several times I remeasured).
Think I should set it to 32"?
