Mine is always between 14-18 mpg. I refuse to believe all these people claiming they get 20-22 mpg. But I guess they always drive downhill with the wind behind them

Before I switched tires I was getting just shy of 20 around town and about the same on the interstate runnig at 75 mph..That was this last summer.

I'm running 33's now and its Cold so things have changed..I'm now running in the High 16's..This due to winter fuel, heavier tires, and a richer running engine. Once it warms up I should be in the high 18's.

I haven't got LESS than 18mpg......ever, and that includes 3 days of wheeling in 4-lo the whole time.

I've seen as high as 23mpg, but usually sit between 19.5-21.5mpg. Lets here it for 2-doors, 225/75 street tires, 3.21's, and a 6-speed ........well, at least the 2-doors and 6-speed. I'm not so thrilled with the tires and gears

I've seen about 17.5 or so around town etc. But I got bored and was on a little trip so I reset it while driving on the innerstate at 65-70's. For about 100+ miles. I averages 22-24ish. But that's with the jeep already up to speeds and no stopping I have a 2d with stock tires etc.
