Mine has been averaging 20 MPG hand calculated doing a mix of city/highway driving since I bought it.Has anyone towed with their 4 door JL yet?? Pretty close to making a purchase of a Rubi. Will occasionally be towing a RZR 900s on an aluminum open trailer, probly be around 2500lbs. so if anyone out there has any experience so far with around this much weight, I'd like to know how the JL did. Thanx
Today I took a 100+ mile trip with my wife, 10 year old son, a small amount of cargo, and a 6.5x12' single axle utility trailer (1,000 lbs.) loaded with a Polaris Ranger (1,100 lbs) and set the cruise at just under 70 MPH while on the interstate. I got 15.5 MPGs on the trip. Jeep towed the load just fine, but you definitely know it's back there. Stayed in 6th and 7th gear most of the time, but it would downshift to 5th on just about any hill.
My 2013 F-150 was getting 15.5 MPGs with no load and no trailer, so I'm happy.
