Default kms to a tank

Hey guys, my girlfriend has been daily driving the Jeep since July when we bought it. Now that my Lancer is stored for the winter i've taken it over. I filled her up 5 or 6 days ago and i'm down to about 1/8th of a tank and i've only driven 280kms! Been driving all city and the JK is all stock. I must of been out of my mind when I was expecting 400-450kms a tank lol.

I've been considering 35's but i'm really worried about the fuel consumption with that sized tire! So now it might be 33's.

So what are you guys getting in terms of litres to 100kms and kms per tank. Please state mods, auto or 6spd and if it's city or hwy.

thanks!

I'm getting 15.5L/100km. That's with 300lbs of armor, 35's, factory height and rake.

Stock I was getting roughly10L/100km.

6 speed with mixed driving. Maybe 60 hwy 40 city.

That's depressing that you're getting better mileage than me with your 33's! Did the superchips improve the mileage?

I quit doing the miliage check, it makes me sad. But I get about 400 to 450 km to a tank of gas. And a lot less if I drive it hard. 09 rubi with a 2.5 lift, stock gears, winch and front bumper, with stock rubi tires.
I seem to get better millage on the hiway just cruzing around but as soon as I hit the city it goes for s**t.
Just drive it and enjoy it for what it is. And rember there will no more bring stuck in the Peg winters.

I agree, it's too depressing to pay attention at the pump
