Hi,
first off all it depends on the model (Sport, Sahara or Rubicon) and than if you drive a manual shifter or an automatic transmission.
In the ideal case you can drive with the Sport-Version and with manual shifter round about 29.4 mpg !
With my Rubicon and the automatic transmission I normally drive between 20.5 and 23.5 mpg.
After changing the tires to an more agressive profile, removing the "air dam", lifting the car with 3´5, mounting the winch in the front and so on the mpg goes to 19.6 !
But never forget - we are in Germany and this means we have nice streets called "Autobahn", and in many parts of the Autobahn we have NO SPEED LIMIT - driving as fast as you can !!!
With my rubicon and the Cooper STT mounted on it there is no problem to drive 100 mph on the Autobahn !
So if you driving like in the US I think the mpg will be much more better
