2010 2 door. Body lift and flat fenders 4.10 gears 6 soeed 35x12.5x15 pitbull rockers. I average 16.5 highway 14.5 city. And the highway mileage is with decent hills that need downshifting to maintain speed. And wheel tire combo weights around 100 pounds each.

Before regearing my 2011 Rubicon with wrangler duratracs, I was getting around 18.5. After going to 5.13s, I now get closer to 18. Definitely did not regear for the gas, but the better performance.

2010 JKU Rubi, 2" lift, 35's, winch, front and rear heavy ass bumpers and I get a pretty consistent 14 mpg in town and highway is 16-18 mpg depending on the wind. I just got back from a trip to Colorado, a little over 1600 miles round trip, and averaged 15.9 mpg. Oh yeah, I'm running a Superchips tuner also.

35" Terra Grapplers
4.1 gears
6 speed
Average 15.6
High 16.3
Low 14.3
I keep track of every tank. The stock mileage average was 17.4 so I took about a 2 mpg hit with 35s. Btw, the dash mileage has NEVER been correct on any tank but it's usually 1mpg high, so keep that in mind.

I don't mean to hate but I want to point out that regearing ONLY for gas savings isn't that great of a deal... obviously regearing has other advantages but if costs you $2000 to go from 16mpg to 20mpg it will take over 45,000 miles before that mod "pays for itself"...
So regear for the performance not to save money
