Mpg
2010 JKU, 35" Trail grapplers, 3" lift, 4.88's, stick shift.
If I keep it around 55-60, I get around 17.5.
When I'm cruising at highway speed, 65-67 to keep the rpm's up a little, I'll get 15.8 all day long. If I go anywhere near 70, it tanks to 13 or under.

What brand and size tire and wheel are you running? I ask, because I heard that the weight plays a big factor in the mpg. I've had people tell me their mpg actually went up when going from 33's to 35's with 4.10's. They said the 4.10's need the 35's to max the mpg. Anyone else see an increase in mpg when going from 33's to 35's?
Running one of the heaviest combos around, 35 Nitto Mud Grapplers on 17 inch Mickey Classic IIIs. I do 16 around town and 17ish on the highway at a moderate speed ( below 70 ). If the temperature outside is in the 30s or below though I can kiss it all goodbye.
That being said, that's on a 14 JKU on stock 3.21s. The Pentastar helps quite a bit and I'm sure the AEV procal fixing my shifting points played a small part as well.
