Ya know, everything seems to be about gas milege. I get 12.5 and I am happy. Who cares. When its empty fill up. If not, get a Honda. The Jeep still gets better gas milage than any truck i have ever owned. If gas was a worry you shouldnt get it.......

I don't have any idea. I have driven up and down the coast and all over Washington and Oregon and I have no idea what I get mileagewise. I know a fill-up is about a tankful.
But whatever it is it can't be too bad-the pump hasn't eaten my plastic card yet

I was shocked 750Km I asked my wife what she was doing to get this type of distance on the tank.... I thought 700km was tops for this jeep. She just told me that she drives it nice between 95-100km/hr on the highway....which is pretty easy around here in the mountians as speed limit is 90km/hr. I would imagine anything over 100km/hr you will see a noise dive.

I have a 2 door X and switched the pizza cutter like wheels and tires it came with (225/75R16) for Rubi wheels and tires (255/75R17). For those of you that have done the same and not recalibrated your speedo, it will be off by almost exactly 10%, so you are doing 66mph when it says 60 and 200 miles on the odometer is actually 220.
I also run my tires at about 30psi, not the recommended 35psi, for better grip and more even wear.
When I calculate my gas mileage, I get about 15.5 miles per gallon. I get maybe 17.5mpg on the highway. So a tank of gas gets me about 250 miles give or take.
Sounds like I am on the low end of the mileage.
