What Is The Average Mpg

2 Door 5.13 Gears City And Highway

Looking For People Running This Set Up

Thanks Will

 

Will you keepin her?

 

idk yet..... but my minds rest less hahaha if i do ill be regearing her dana 44 front and she will be a daily driver again so no more wheeling.... not sure yet still better off to sell her

 

if you build it with a 44 you will be good to go wheelin and still dd

 

I have a four door with auto trans. I get 12-13 mpg to and from work. The best I have done is 16 on the highway.

 

not sure if its a wise thing to do 5.13 and daily driving

 

Gettin about 15-16 with my 5:13's and 37" Coopers. Got a auto trans with the HyperTech Speedo Calib. unit. I drive about 50 miles a day.

 

OK, There's sure no harm in running 2,500 rpm...hell the engine can handle more than that any day....but I think the MPG part was the wisdom questioned.



I'll do a rough calculation that with 5.13's turning 35's at 2,500 rpm, that you are averaging roughly ~ 64.5 - 65 mph...a reasonable cruise speed for the NY - Princeton Commute.

You are carrying a lifted armored rig on those 35's...so if a stock JK could get about 18 mpg under those conditions...then you should be closer to 15 mpg in steady traffic, and somewhat less per gallon if its stop/go...but then you would not be at 2,500 rpm cruising along either.



If you were to drop to about 45 mph, your mpg would probably soar to more like 22 mpg, as the wind resistance would be cut significantly.



Of course, at 100 miles each way, that would add ~ 40 minutes each way to your commute.

At ~ 15 mpg, 200 miles for the day = ~ 13.3 gal, at $4/gal = $53.33 per day in gas.

At 22 mpg, that's 9.1 gallons per day = ~ $ 36.36 per day in gas....saving $16.97 per day in gas.

So you pay the difference to get 40 minutes more sleep, and to get home 40 minutes earlier.




Seems reasonable.

 

idk if anyone could rele explain it better

 

Well If I Can Swing It Im Going This Route Sounds That 5.13 Will Help My Mpg So Makes It More Of A Daily Driver Which Is What I Need
