It doesn't have 4.73 gears, probably 3.73's but your actual mileage will vary based on how you use the gas and if the speedometer has been calibrated for the height.

I wouldn't be surprised to see 20mpg, but again- other items will factor into that number. If the tires are particularly aggressive then the mileage can decrease. Highway and city also play a role.

My 2013 jku with 3.73 and 35's average 14.5-15.5. Granted its with heavy a$$ nittos. I've seen 19mpg following other jeeps at less than 65mph. When I'm by myself its 75mph (we have 70mph limit) so that's part of my prob with mpg

Thanks for the info more than likely I will pass on this jeep. Not that much cheaper than buying a 2014 and getting eveything I want and not paying for things I dont want or need
