I don't know how you guys are getting that good of mpg? Do you all drive like a little old lady? I got a 2012 unlimited rubj with manual trans all stock and only get maybe I mean maybe 11mpg in town. And absolute best I've seen on highway was 16.

You got a serious problem with your truck or a serious heavy foot...remember you bought a jeep so driving it like a grandma is like driving normal I'm a jeep.

I feel a do drive like a grandma in mine. Drive it the same way I do my truck like a old man. Which I'm not to far off from.

X2. Mine has gotten better since I put some miles on it. I drove from Myrtle Beach to Charleston (95mies) last weekend. It's pretty flat and at 60mph I managed 19mpg with 35"s on 4:10

I've only got 1700 miles on mine and wife drives it most of the time. Maybe that's the problem! Haha
