OMG... that's truly terrible. As much as I like the way your Jeep looks, I'd have to agree that it's NOT worth it. Save up with a quickness and get some 5.13s or higher... and in the meantime, coast as much as possible, and drive like a grandmother's grandmother!

Wow... even with the 37" boggers you should be closer to the 175 mile range and nowhere near the 100 mile range... have it checked out, somethings wrong.

Normal driving for me is around 280 miles per tank, last night I had it loaded up with the family and the roof rack loaded averaging about 70 mph through the Poconos, Catskills, and Adirondacks and I was getting about 230 per tank.

6 speed with 4.10's. smallest tires.

right now the gas light just came on and i have ran 330 miles. i swear if i had a little bigger tire the mileage would be better. i am 3000+ all the time on the highway.

i want to swtich to 35's but dont want to kill the mileage.

Payed more attention this weekend and it was more towards 280.

I have 6-speed 3.21 and got 350 one my first tank 14.4 gallons to fill it up.It is a 2 door and it had stock sreel wheels for the first 240 miles and then 32's for the last 110 miles so my speedo was off on the last bit. Speedo is running slower so miles should be alittle more. That's about 24 mpg alot better than 14 mpg truck i drive everyday.
