Thank you for your opinion and that is all great, but it's like an asshole and everyone has one. This was done for informational purposes for people who do care about the gas mileage. I will never drive a prius or a volt. The JK was actually the wife's vehicle until she took mine. It is still an energy miser compared to the Z71 that was on 39.5 boggers.

Once again this is being done for the purpose of informing people WHO CARE of what does what to the MPG. I am not doing this for people to tell me to buy a volt. I am trying to give people an idea of what mods do what, we all know that modding it will kill the MPG, I am just trying to be informative.

Aside from the above, I wrote down the miles and how much pumped from this weekend and the AVG posted on the dash is pretty close to being true. I was .3 MPG to the bad by the calculator. This may be due to the fact that I have not adjusted (flashpaq) for the change in tire size yet. This will get done sooner or later but is on hold for wife stuff (new fence for dogs, hardwood in bedroom, tile in bathroom, boob job...I wish...lol would write that check with a smile from ear to ear, and who knows what else). After all that I will get the SuperChips and we will see what it does.

...my commute is also 45 minutes one way. But it's only 12 miles.

So I'm in the 13-14 mpg range for day-to-day commuting.

Hwy at 75 mph, when I can hold steady without bumper to bumper traffic, I get more like 17-18 mpg at best. This depends a lot on wind and grade.
