2012 Rubi Gear Option?
I was able to get the 4.1 for free from my dealer. I will be on 35" tires so the 4.1s will work since it will be a daily driver with 20% off road. If you have any plans of upgrading your tires or getting a lift I would ask for the 4.10.
Good luck.
Good luck.

At 70 mph I'm turning 2600 rpm which is just over the green area on the tach, best I can get on the interstate is 17 mpg. A co-worker of mine has a '12 sport with 3.73s and gets just over 20 mpg at 70 mph.
I'm still stock but plan to run 35s or 37s when spring rolls around.
Im running a stock Rubi with 4.10 auto. I like the powerful feel of the 4.10 and dont mind losing a little fuel milage. I tend to drive 55-60 on the hywy and that helps with fuel use, but not much. I will go 33-34 when these MT wear out. Off road I put it in 4 LO and my Jeep crawls down the trail with out me touching the gas pedal. I love that.

Same here.
I went back and forth with the decision to go 4.10 or 3.73.......I just figured i'd go with the 4.10s and give up a a little MPG. I'm sure the 3.73s would have been fine and with some streches of road at 70 - 80 MPH maybe been better, but I like the power with the 4.10s

Mine came w/4.10's @ N/C
I'm around town, hoping to get a travel trailer and to do a little off roading. Plus if I END UP W/35'S, 4.10S WILL BE BETTER. Oops, caps lock fumble.
4.10's made the best sense, mileage does suck. My kids 11 sport JKU w.3.73's gets avg 19-20 mpg (1/2 hwy, 1/2 town and light foot), I'm lucky to get 15-16 w/my round town lead foot (mine is more fun tho, lots of pull).
ETA: I didn't buy a Rubi to get good mileage or be green, matter of fact, I don't care if it glows green in the dark!
