8k MAX not Min.
So knowing that 8k is under ideal conditions only, and my innate paranoia of all things electronic I will be changing my oil every 3mo, 5k, or oil light; whichever comes first. (5k because this is the mileage rating of most oils)

More than 15mpg?
Attachment 338618
about 7k miles now on the arctic. no major issues. some water leaks here and there, but dealer has made good. getting about 19.6 MPG.
installed the rampage grill insert. (great product) and added the corbeau grab handles. love the power increase over the 3.8

I haven't gotten above 15 ever
. My commute is almost all street miles and a number of hills, plus I am running the 4.1 gears on stock 32s with an Auto tranny and 5100 miles on the odo. (Apparently full mpg and performance is programmed out until the odo passes 5k so until now I haven't whined).Ok I know you have a 2012 and an auto tranny. What size tires, and gears are you running?

I see my future!
I traded in my 2009 2dr Rubicon for this one. I just wanted more space with the 4dr and the new engine. This weekend the bumper and winch go on!!! So far I've got the AEV 4.5" Dualsport lift, 37" MTR Kevs, Elka Remote Res Shocks, 5.13 gears and the front axle has been made much stronger with chromoly axle shafts, 1/4" chromoly axle sleeves and the Teraflex C-gussets. Rear locker is next in line after the bumper/winch go on. Love my 2012!!!!

. I gotta ask how are the MTRs? And if you commute/highway what is your average mpg?

I've got about 2400 miles on mine now... last couple of tank full of gas have averaged from 18.4mpg to almost 19mpg. Thats with a combined street and freeway driving (no offroad heavy use driving). I will say that just prior to the last two tanks I installed a K&N airfilter replacement for the stock filter. I'm still running the stock tires, no lift, and manual transmission etc...

I got a JK Sport back in April and I'm fast approaching 8k in miles. I've got an air raid CAI on the way and soon after that I'm doing a new exhaust, (I'm a truck convert) and I kinda miss that rumble so that's what's next after the CAI. And after that it's a total front to back modification, lift kit, tires, front and rear bumper etc...
