Terrible 2.0 gas mileage?

[viper88]

I have a bone stock JLR 2.0T. I use Premium gas. Tires at 36-PSI. At about 3500 miles now. My MPG are getting better and better. All my driving is on roads as flat as a pool table. I average about 19-20 in bumper to bumper traffic with A/C blasting. I did a all highway trip yesterday. Drove 400 miles all highway, A/C blasting, average speed 70 mph. The computer said 26.4 mpg but I hand calculated at 26.1 mpg. That's 7 mpg better then my last 2015 JK 3.6 Freedom Edition. I think that's impressive considering my 2.0T has the Rubicon gears and is higher.

I’m getting 13.7 turning 41.5” stock rubicon gears all city and getting on it. About to switch to 5:38 to fix the lost gears 7&8. Of course the 60/80 combo and weight likely won’t fix my issue.

On the highway at 70 and flat I can get 16.8 but that’s about it and that’s me forcing it to 7. 8 is long gone but soon to reappear.

Perfect for a Jeep weighing what I do.

Stock Rubicon, automatic; I mostly drive on flat interstate with some stop and go traffic. I put about 60 miles of that on it in a day running between 55mph and 70mph. I'm getting 22.5-23.7mpg using 93 octane. I have about 1500 miles on the motor right now.

I'm a shade under 5K miles and have been running on 35's with no lift since I picked it up. The computer says 22.7. I do a mix of stop and go and "freeway speeds" (70 to 75) on the way to work and back then just sort of "general" driving on the weekends (to the store, to the range, to where ever).

Like any turbo if you have a heavy foot your mileage will suffer, I am averaging around 17 lifted, 35" tires, extra weight , Rhino roof rack when I am doing 75+, if I keep it under 65 it does jump to about 20 on flat no head wind highway

I run 87 in my 2018 JLU 2.0T and on my last trip, at sea level, recorded 27mpg using fuelly. No problems. I only fill up with premium when driving in the mountains at high altitude.

Hit 25000 Miles on my 2.0 Rubicon JLU today use 91 octane and I'm averaging 21mpg, mixture of mountain driving and rural highways. And I have been told i have a heavy foot...

I am lifted with heavy 35s wheel and tire combo is 104lbs and I babies it for last two days except two instances where I needed to merge in a hurry and hit it, and I am at 14 miles per gallon.. when I say baby it I mean accelerating so slow cars swerve around me, and coasting if I see a red two lights away.. I have heard it get better with time and I am only at 250ish miles.. but I am wildly disappointed at this stage, feel like I should of got the v6 avoided turbo lag, and gone with an engine with a longer production history, hopefully as motor breaks in, and tranny adjusts I see an improvement
