I get 16mpg last I checked. That's 90% to 95% somewhat hilly highway at 55mph. My onboard avg says 18.3mpg but that's got to be wrong. See my sig for my Jeep details. I have my tuner set to tow tune and use 91 octane.

4door auto, 35's, 5.13's, OME HD, flashpaq 87 tune, driving at altitude along the front range in Colorado.

In town - 13.5-14mpg, mostly OD/Off
Freeway - 18 mpg if I keep the speed down and am not doing a lot of hills/mountains, but 16-17 mpg is more normal for my driving habits.

Man, this is an understatement. I have a 2009 4-door with auto tranny. Everything is FACTORY. Only thing I've installed of significant weight is a Smittybilt Step/Rocker, replaced OEM bumper with OEM Rubicon bumper with foglights & towhooks.

I get 14-MPG city, 23-Highway. Highway is sorta decent, but 14-MPG city?

Today I filled my tank. 233.3 miles, used 17.306 gallons = 13.46-MPG. WTF?!? I just want to SCREAM!!

I have the stock tires ( 32's ) and 2.5 lift and average around 16 mpg mixed driving. I just ordered my 35's so I will update after they are on.

Was getting around 17.5 MPG (mix of 70-75 mph highway and city street driving) for factory set up....Unlimited with 32's, 3.73 gearing (tow package) and 6-speed.

Just put on the Teraflex 2.5" Coil Lift and 35" KM2s (with trimmed fenders and chopped front bumper) and no armor or lights yet, and so far for the first 60 miles, I have gotten right around 14 mpg average....computer did say I was getting 12.5 ish around town, but the drive to work today was 25 miles of highway at 70 mph (not recalibrated though) and it is at 14 right now.

Is a Cold Air Intake the best upgrade for MPG?!? Would a programmer have any significant impact to a 6-spd for MPG? I know it would help the speedo, but what computer issues does a 6-spd have with bigger tires?
