When I bought my jk I got an average of 15 mpg(with 35's) now after 4,000 miles, a AEM CAI, and a magnaflow I am geting 18... I was amazed... My dad said the engine is just breaking in, but it only has 4,000 miles on it..

Thought I'd share

Holy crap! You must have a two door. Right? Well, I don't know if that makes that much differance, but I only get a 13 mpg with the same CAI and muffler with 6000 miles on my unlimited!

Wow! If the computer say you're getting 10.1, then you're probably only getting 8-9.
