I try not to even compute the milage on my '92.... seeing as how a full tank only registers 3/4 because of the rather large dent

My mothers however gets between 17-20, depends on who's driving it. I have a lighter foot than her.

I'm still on my original tank of gas since i bought this xj 3 weeks ago. I put on 191 miles to date and have about 1/8 of tank left. That don't sound too good. My lifted tj on 33's (4 cyl, 3.73, auto) got 210 per tank. I drive 1 mile to work everyday though. Maybe it's the short driving. I dunno, i kinda expected 250 or so on a stock xj.

Wouldn't know but i know it's bigger than my tj's cuz it costs more to fill it up even with lower gas prices.

I'm getting an average of 220-230 miles per tank. Good? I did replace the 1-mile gapped factory plugs with new .035 champions and still getting teh same so i guess that's pretty much it.
