Filled up the other day. Fuel light came on and the computer indicated 37 miles to empty. I have the 22.5 gal. Tank. It took 18.99 to top off. Seems about right. About 2.64 (remaining mileage to empty/avg. mpg.) usable gallons in the tank. + 1 gal. on reserve to prevent a dry tank.

are you taking into account winter gas?? Mileage seems to drop with winter gas, must be more ethanol in it or something, mine dropped almost 2 MPG all winter. 13 is really low for consistent mileage, auto or not. I have an '12 auto JKU with 3.73's and get an average of 18 MPG in a 50/50 mix of city and highway driving and am running 33's.

It'll probably make your MPG worse. Air intakes tend to make your Jeep sound cooler on acceleration thus making you give it more gas pedal for that whoomp sound.
I have a Mopar CAI and it is so loud when I get into the gas pedal. With that being said, you should get one. Stay away from a K&N drop in. It'll just be a waste of time in the long run.

With my 2 door with 3.73 gears, 35's, 3.5" of lift, I'm getting 13 mpg
but of course I've got a hardtop, heavy duty bumpers with a full 35 spare, and a light bar. I'm thinking about ordering a snorkel this week though and I've heard that you get a slight mpg gain from it, is this true or just a myth?
