I love JK, this is my first JEEP, it is outstanding car, but i did not expect such mpg. I read some posts, guys wrote about 15-19, 14 mpg on 35 tire! I try to drive very easy, rmp 2000-2500. Is it normal?. Our Dealer says it is JEEP THING, hate them. (there also were some water leak, problem whith had light, and so on - they couldnt do anything)

Thank you all

is speedo is iff 6-7 mph at what speed

I put it this the jk will say I am get 12.9 mpg but I am running 37s. with 3.21 gears and never calibrated the speedo

mine is off 5mph at 20 mph

so at 60 mph I am doing 75 mph its a ratio thing I fond it funny when people say " my speedo is off by 5mph "

but to go off mine for mpg mine being off 5 mph at 20 mph means I am 25% off of whats being shown

I just take the mileage and mutiply it by 1.25% which will give me my to miles driven and go from there

I not wanting to recalibrate my speedo yet it allow me to care my warrnity out longer than what it should be

I have 3.8 and automatic transmisson and city driving only,
16000 miles doesnt enough for a "littel wire out"

Head Lights were broken becouse of difrence in tempreture. Temrature of glass is high, after a wash and cold water glass was damaged.

If i recalibrate odometer mpg will increase about 10-15%, you mean that mpg 12-15 for stock JK is normal at the city. I dont think so. I cant bilive that somebody has 17-19 mpg It looks like 1,8 on my Toyoyta Celica GTS Thank you everyone for your attention!!!!
