What I think is funny is when it says 15-17mpg I merely reset the computer (hit the button) and suddenly the mileage improves...everytime!
Kind of like the computer realises that I am monitoring it and it changes the readout (that or it goes into economy mode with the touch of a button).


Hmmmmmm.....

Thats because it starts over and can only take what you are driving at now for an average.

I get about 16.5 to 17.5 mpg depending on where I am driving. But really, does it matter? As long as I'm having fun every mile of the way, I don't care!

Default Gas!

I have the 07 4 dr sahara and I haven't ever gotten less then 16.2 but that was really hard driving on average I get 17.5 on hwy not going over 75mph I get 20 to 22 depending on the cross wind and such. I bought mine in March as a demo with 2000 miles on it but since I have put on 17,000 miles so obviously gas milage is very important on average 900 miles a week!
I will soon be putting on either a K&N intake or AFE intake and let you know the difference.
Next to come 2-3 suspension lift, split gibson exhaust, front bumper and a new set of wheels and tires!

I guess I am the only one here getting 10 MPG.
35 inch BFG's - make no mistake, big tires will eat fuel. I need to regear - currently have the 4.10's and an auto tranny. Need the 4.88's.

Also, this is hand calculated, not from the lying computer.
