Hey all...
running 2.5" lift with 33s...mostly city driving. NOT heavy on the skinny pedal. No tick, but get an average of *gulp* 12.1 MPG. Am I in line for the dreaded tick future problems with this abysmal gas mileage??

Something isn't right. You shouldn't be getting 12 mpg. If you have remote start the average isn't correct or if you leave it running a lot while idling. Iirc it makes it drop significantly

I posted this on a few other threads. Had been averaging about 17.5. Now that winter hit it dropped to around 16.5. 2012 JKU with 3.73 rear and manual trans. The values below 15.5 are while towing a heavy trailer.

Winter blend gas can have a negative effect on MPGs.
