6 speed and 3.21 gearing i've always averaged over 21mpg, but i drive pretty conservatively.
I hit a lot of 45mph roads on the way to and from work.

About 16-16.5 mpg with a mix of city/highway/stop and go traffic. On the highway cruising at 70mph I get about 18.5-19.

Set up stock, w/ 3.73's I get between 17.5 and 19.5 with city/highway driving. I really noticed a difference this past week with high winds, my mpg went down significantly.

Yeah the winds make it go down FAST! I drove about 2 hours on the freeway this past weekend to visit family and I got 16.2 doing 65-70mph, very windy though. High winds suck.

Ours is a 2007 Unlimited soft top X with auto and 4.10 gears. Stock with the exception of front AEV bumper. Wifes DD. About 10 miles total everyday, all city driving. About 14MPG. Mixed driving has given us about 16MPG and strictly highway on long hauls gives about 20-22MPG.

On my first tank I got 18.3mpg (actual, not onboard computer). It was mostly highway driving with some stop and go.

Again, I don't know how you guys are getting those MPG averages. 4 door, stock Rubi, Auto just rolled 7500 miles and I get 13 mpg city driving. I hit 19 once on an 8 hour trip. I drive it like a grandpa too...
