I can seem to find out how to bring up the MPG on the onboard computer in my 2012. I went from on 08 to a 12. It was easy on the 08 just a button. Where is the feature on a 2012?

It's on the left side of the steering wheel. Should say Step and Reset.

JKU Rubi auto, 4.10 gears, stock wheels and tires. Mix of city/hwy. Saw almost 21 mpg on hwy but, on longer trip prob would go up.

My trip to Clayton Oklahoma averaged 20.8 according to the computer. However, when I manually calculated based on amount of fuel used and distance travelled, it came out to 22.3mpg. I'm REALLY happy with the mileage, especially with 4.10's and auto transmission.

2,100 rpm is about 65 mph. I used the AEV Procal to reset the computer so that it knows about the different tire heights, so it runs like a stocker, no issues at all. In my opinion the 35" tires should be a factory option if you've got 4.10 gears.

Basically the same setup (4.10s/35s/3.5"), but with a 200 lb lighter Sport model - same results. I haven't determined whether it's the 35s or the fact that I keep dipping heavily into the throttle for the wow factor. Never had that urge with my 3.8.
