Default Fuel mileage

I'm not sure if a thread like this exists, but I just wanted to share my fuel mileage and think it would be neat to see how other people's Jeeps are doing on gas...
Today was my peak mileage traveling ~60 miles usually in 5th gear on the highway going 70 mph besides for traffic situations, I got 18.9 mpg. But around town I get 17.6 mpg.
If anyone wants to share their mileage you should put your specs on the post too...
Here's my specs,
3.6 pentastar
6-speed manual
Soft top
3.73 gearing
Stock D30 & D44
4-door
Model year is 2012
3.5 AEV SC lift
315/70/17 duratracs

I tried various search terms and nothing came up with a similar thread, so I hope I'm being original here haha. Here's evidence of my mpg's

I keep track of every fill up since brand new. I now have almost 47,000 miles on my 2012 jku. Manual trans. 3.73 rear with max tow package. I haven't updated my excel spreadsheet for awhile but I'll post the most recent chart here. Anything over 18 I have to assume mostly highway. Anything under 15 assume it was towing my heavy toyhauler. The chart is calculated data, not the jeeps computer telling me the number. My jeep is stock except for the rubi tires.

Why are you in 5th gear on the highway with the 3.73 rear? I use 6th unless I am towing, in which case I need to use 5th.

Automatics only have 5 gears. Manual tans have 6. He just left that out.

Sorry I forgot to mention my transmission. I edited my first post. It's a 6-speed and with the big tires and lots of hills 5th gear did great.
Rob_engineer, teach me your ways of getting over 22 mpg

13' Rubicon
3.5" lift
35X12.5X18 Toyo M/T
18" Rock Stars
Automatic Trans
Mopar open cold air intake
Mopar High Performance exhaust
4.10 gears

I get 12.5mpg in city and 14mph on hwy. I usually run between 65-70mph on highway, I am not a speed demon nor do I romp on it when I take off.
Where am I going wrong getting crappy mpg?

2013 JK Sport --6spd -- soft top -- Stock 17" Goodyear SRA's -- 3.20:1 gears
Average 24 to 26 mpg highway.
Get about 18 mpg if I'm crawling thru the hills and dirt roads going slow.
