Default Anyone else having this issue?

I have had my JK for about 4 weeks now and I am having the hardest time putting down the keys and going back to driving my actual daily driver.

So when I could be saving a ton of money on gas by driving my 30+mpg Honda civic, I consciously decide to take the 19mpg Jeep instead.

Anyone else having trouble putting down their keys?

this Saturday I will be driving to NY and will definitely be taking the Honda so maybe that time away will break me of the habit?

The best I got so far was around 13. Completely Stock.
Either I have a really heavy foot, or theres something wrong with my Jeep

I'm sure 19 is an over-estimation (based on the information from the dash read out)

most of my driving is continuous too, not much stop and go.

My TJ never had the doors on but that was only because I never left anything in it and the glovebox, center console, and trunk were always locked.

The JK doesn't have as much security and is nicer inside so I have to put the doors and top on because my neighborhood sucks!

I have been neglecting to drive my 55 mpg VW TDI. That's how addicted to the JK I am.

My JK gets about 18.5 mpg around town, and about 23 mpg on the highway with some very conservative driving. (Figured the old fashioned way.)
