The manufacturer does computer runs under conditions set by EPA. They choose their most efficient model for each engine (not every combination of gears, weight, etc.). Then they take that times the number of vehicles sold with that engine to come up up with their CAFE. It doesn't have anything to do with real life.Out of the 600 that went through a local dealer here, under 10% were Rubicons. Even on the other dealer (which I'm buying through), only like 5 of the 50+ Jeeps were Rubicons. Fuel mileage is always based on the most favorable version of the chassis they sell, and on top of that they test highway mpg on a dyno at 45 mph. So yeah, no way it will be 24 for highway, LOL. That said, it will be better than 16 mpg. My 98 TJ with a 5.7 hemi and 5 speed auto gets 16 lifted on 33s.
