Question 6 SPD w/4.10 gears - Mileage?

Hi there! I have a JK 6 spd with 3.21 gears and am wondering what kind of gas mileage you are getting with the 4.10's? I need more pulling power but want to maintian reasonable mileage.

Thanks!

According to my computer, I am getting around 19mpg. This is mostly rural driving with moderate stop and start.

Consistently 17.5-18 for mixed driving, I'll do 20-21 if its all highway

goes down to 16.5-17 with no doors or top.

These are hand calculated, so they are definitely right... Hope this helps.

On highway, a little over 20 mpg, as measured during a recent 5,000 mile trip. About 18 city. Both calculated. Computer reads about 1-1.5 mpg high most of the time.

Well I guess I was sent to BLOW your MIND. I have a 6 spd and 4.10 gears
and are you ready for this how does 11 city and 14 highway sound and I live in south louisiana where the only hills are over passes. this is hand calculated because the digital guage in the dash thinks I am a mushroom( in the dark full of $$it) My mickey thompson 33 ar the same size as Rubicon stock diameter of 32.8 and driving on highway at 70 not 75


please get back to me tell me what I am doing wrong
