Depends on a number of factors like; body style (unlimited, 2dr), tranny? 2wd or 4wd, wheels/tires, armor, etc.

There are literally hundreds of threads on this very question, but to summarize them all here's what I've seen.

2dr 6sp no mods 20-22mpg+
2dr at no mods 18-20mpg
4dr 6sp no mods 18-20mpg+
4dr auto no mods 16-18mpg

Add a milestone mod like tires, lift and armor and your mpg's drop about .5 to 1mpg per milestone. I'm an unlimited auto with lift, 35's, armor and I average 14.5mpg's at 75/25 hwy/city driving.

Wow. I never saw those even when stock. Now my foot seems heavier, my mpg is worse, but my smile is bigger...

I keep track of miles on each receipt. Bought the JK Unlimited in May of '09. My best tank was 19.98. Worst was 15.45. Average over 40,198 miles is 17.55. Yup... 40,198 in 13 and a half months. I need a dang commuter 2-door

Auto with 3.73's and still on stock GSA's until the end of the summer.

My auto 4dr on wide and heavy 33s (plus Flashpaq) gets about 19 mpg at 68 mph. City is closer to 14 mpg. Stock was maybe 1-2 mpg more, depending.

21mpg 6-spd, unlimited, 2.5 lift. no other mods... 65mph. Pretty consistent on my 150 mile weekly commute.

18mpg doing 75mph

Speed does matter.

200mpg 75mph coming down out of the mountains Don't do this often....

Default Mpg

2010 4-door sport. 6-speed with 3:73 and hardtop. 17 inch rims with stock goodyear street tires.

Only mod is MOPAR cold air intake.

I get between 18.5-19.6 MPG's

Somtimes it will be at 17.5 and even as high as 20.6 MPG'S

Take off the freedom pannels and roll down the windows....HELLO 15.0 MPG's

Roll the windows back up but leave the pannels off...Welcome back 17.5 MPG's
