JLUR 3.6 auto with 35" BFG KO2 tires and I have about 16 mpg. I think that it's quite good. I drive normally, about 70-75 mph on a highway. If I wanted a better mpg, I would buy a Prius

I have JLUR, 2" Mopar lift, 35" KO2s. Getting about 14.1. I live in WNC mountainous area, nothing level, twists and turns. A little disappointed, but not angry about the mpg.

3.6 auto.

I tend to drive slower than speed limit, or at it, I am in no rush.
My MPG is usually above 20 mixed, with many tanks hitting 23 lately( work commute light highway traffic to work, moderate to heavy going home)
I did a trip to Mass and got 24, 3.6 8auto stock

It is amazing if you slow the F down, take your foot off the gas on downhill or flats once in a while you will always beat the EPA #

Wrangler is a chillin vehicle, I refuse to drive it like these assholes on the road, if me going the speed limit or 5 mph under enrages you...lets stop and we can talk about it lol.

Everyone cry's gas is so much, then proceed to drive like a bat out of hell

We need to save the planet...buys a Prius and does 85 mph on the highway

That's what I get. JLU Sport, 3.6, auto, BFG K02 35s and 2" lift. I have been able to get over 19 on the highway recently but honestly that was with a 20 mph tailwind. I live in North Texas. I didn't buy my Jeep for the mpg's. I bought it because it's a Jeep.

That’s exactly what I did went to 33 and saw 4mpg decline

Which factory installed tires were on your Wrangler and which 33's did you install?

gcamo - I have a 3.6 auto

I forget the brand they where the all season tires and for the new tires I did the milestar pantagonia 275 70 R18

I really only plan to go to 33's when I do tires. And unless it drops 10 mpg, I'm still pretty surprised.

I was equally surprised (shocked) as I saw what friends with the JKs were getting. I have 33s on my Rubicon and live out in the country. I am averaging 24+ mpg but have the 2.0. Still in shock.

With mostly city I have been getting 16mpg recently.

On a round trip to Tahoe I got 17mpg exactly.

I think the summer blend of gas has started because I was averaging 14 before.

37’s, Mopar 2” lift, 5.13 gears, 3.6 manual

Stock 2018 JL with 3.6 and 8-speed Auto. Have over 2,000 miles on it and have averaged right at 25.0 mpg on each tank I've filled up with, 87 E10.

3.6 Auto with mine, I average about 22 MPG with my Daily commute. Part Highway, part city, taking advantage of ESS at stoplights.

I downsized from a Ram 1500 Hemi that was getting around 15-16 in the same driving conditions. I couldn't take as much advantage of the Multi-displacement system after I moved back home to a much bigger city than where I lived before. Some of us did take the fuel economy into account when we got our Jeeps. Not the sole reason but it did give it an advantage over some of the less Expensive JKs on the lot I looked at.

 

[thecritter]

Had an O2 sensor going bad prior to complete failure JLUR on 37" KO2s automatic was getting 13.5 Texas Roads 75-80. Dealership replaced and mileage has gone up to 17.2 it has never got this good of mileage, so yes shocked was happy at 14-15 when new.

 

[SunriseJeep]

I only average about 15.4 MPG most of the time. I’m in Florida and AC is always on and Top always down. I go through gas like crazy.

 

[dkevlar]

I have also been very happy with mileage. Overall in my JLUR i have averaged 21mpg with just city and Colorado Ski trip miles. Just got back from Moab, fully loaded with 3 guys at 70 -80mph we averaged 22. At 80 (in UT) you really feel the wind knock down the mileage though. ( Not much of a surprise)

PS - we got 3 full size mountain bikes in with all of our gear and still had the large side of the fold down rear seat up for the backseater. Could not believe how much you can pack in one!
