OK, everyone is talking about the disply's MPG. I was thinking that everyone meant actual MPG. I have the "X" so, I don't have that feature.

winch, Mopar bumper, 4inch RC x-series lift, 33 BFG KM2s, 1 Hi-Lift, 2 pull pals, and about 150lbs of tools in the back everywhere I go. Average 18-20 Highway at 55-60MPH and about 16 in town. Really check your odometer to a GPS system... like others have said faster you go (highway speed) the more off it will be. If you don't have one use a little conversion factors. New tire diameter / old tire diameter... should get a factor of like 33/29 then multiple that and the odometer reading it will get you a bit closer... Good luck, and this is my last post for 4 months I'm about 30 minutes from getting on my deployment flight.

heh, i assumed when people talked about mpg and had a problem with it, they were actually checking their mpg and not using the computer. i got 11 again today, its pretty cool to have a max range of 200 miles! think i might bring it to the dealership, gonna assume something is wrong

35s, 5.13s with an auto and I average 14 to 15 mpg. That's really babying it too
