I wanna hear the readings people getting 20 mpg are getting. Idk when I'll get to that ECT. Hey, I did put propane in my AC today, seems to work.

Pick a name yet? Dawn is a nice name!

Not specifically Jeep, but about anything, if its working I'm hesitatent to toss it and replace it with something manufactured lately. Even name brands get dodgy where they are from sometimes. My.o2 anyway.

I need to confess though, I might have well over 100K on my water pump, I might toss it while its still working!

I used to get 20town and 26 highway in my 87 XJ I had when I first started driving. So 19.5mpg when the gas blends these days I won't be complaining about.
What exactly does propane in the AC do? I saw something about that a while ago but never read into it. Mine blows really cold as it is so its not something I'll need to do for a while.

We actually named her Holly, I saw the name several months ago and that's what we decided on. Is your name Dawn by chance?

Agreed ^there^. I'd like to get back there myself. Idk. with 300K right around the corner... (265k)

Oh, propane is just a shade tree way to save a buck, maybe! If I didn't get enough of the right oil in there and melt my AC compressor, I might not end up saving much. Handling liquid propane under pressure isn't something I would recommend. Plus the mircaption odorant they put in there is one and the same molecule that rotting meat gives off. Besides the stink, it attracts flies! I just have a "tinkering problem". Maybe there is a group for that! "Hello, my name is Donald and I am a "tinkerholic"

Holly! Pretty name. Actually my last lady friend was named Holly. Be sure to provide her plenty of Vodka in the AM, or she might get grumpy!

Congratulations! Now, there has to be a car seat forum somewhere....
