Driving 70 mph into a 30 -40 mph headwind,.... About 9 mpg

And I felt lucky to get this. It was an ass whipping.

Default Mpg

Mine was also poor while pulling our 21' boat. Driving 55 or 60 is alot better though instead of trying to pull it 70-75. My avg did stay in the 12's, better than the '07 Ford P/U I traded in for the Jeep.

I don't tow or anything, so the worst for me has been in the 16's when using 4x4 a lot in winter driving.
