In my WJ, with 2" lift, I get about 12mpg. Highway, 17. Can't wait for my great MPG JK!!

How many miles before the break in is over and they start getting better mpg in a new JK? I am getting mine Friday.

Most should see an increase in MPG as the refineries have/are in the process of switching over from winter blend to summer blend fuels. Also, increased temps will help reach optimum operating temp's quicker.

Still seeing 16-17 City and 21-22 MPG highway as the snow is still flying around here. Normally in the summer I see 17-18 City and 22-24 MPG highway with 6 speed & 3:73 rear and still stock box, exhaust and no programmer....but soon is not coming fast enough
