Interesting to see all the data. I'm just over 19,500 miles on my 2012 that I also purchased new.

It's important to remember that there's an average daily cost associated with every car, and that number starts to get scary when you add in all costs like parking, maintenance, accessories, etc, even for a relatively inexpensive vehicle like the JK sport.

I've never had so much fun in my life as I have driving Jeeps, though.

I have a 2012 With 48k, and a 6" Lift with 37x12.5" Goodyear MTR's. The Jeep says i'm getting 16.7 MPG overall. I don't believe it.

I must have skipped over this option when I was reading the manual, is this in the Trip A, Trip B section? I had to download an app to keep track of my mpg

Maybe you only have it if you got the connectivity package. It is the same area on dash that reads outside temperature and compass direction.

What's included in the connectivity package? I thought my car came equipped with this feature. What year is your JK? From my understanding even if your car is not equipped with this feature it is still mentioned in the manual. I have a 2012 2 door Rubicon. I'm wondering if maybe this is 2013+ feature.

Connectivity. Has USB port in center console. Has control buttons on steering wheel. These control the radio and the EVIC. Electronic vehicle information center. That is the display that gives mpg. Mine is also a 2012.

Just hit the button on your steering wheel that says Menu (I think). Sometimes you have to press more than once. You should then be able to scroll to different information in the digital display that is under your speedometer.
