Yeah, new thread that says "I get bad gas mileage in my XJ" would work wonders. The causes of bad gas mileage usual never change.

The suggestion above that this may just be a problem you're having with winter gas is a good one. When did your poor mileage start? To compare, my 95 XJ with no rack, no lift and no extra goodies except for some old Kumho mud tires, gives me about 16mpg consistently.

A clogged cat can also affect mileage. Amazon, believe it or not, sells high-flow cats for pretty cheap if yours is clogged/damaged.

 

The problem with it though is that there rarely if ever is one single thing that causes a vehicle to get worse-than-stock gas mileage. 90% of the time its usually a combination of factors. Doesn't help that most of us on here drive 4wd, solid axle, bricks on wheels that have 4 liter engines putting out a whopping 190hp.....

 

What happened here is you stuck your nose in on a thread you weren't interested except to ridicule somebody for reviving a "dead thread". Then you proceed to making rude remarks to people you don't know and wrap up calling people you don't know "********". This you would not do if we were talking face-to-face - and neither would I. Most people find it easier to be polite in the real world.

My suggestion to you is if you don't like or don't care about a thread, ignore it...and keep the hard-*** comments to yourself. Nothing I said to you warranted that response.

 

again with the talking out your ***, go check pages 4 onward in this thread and you will see that I've actually been quite involved in this thread for quite a while, thus why I got an "update" e-mail about a new post in a thread that hasn't had any posts in several months.

I've already said what I did and why I said what I said, if you can't accept that its really not my problem. Frankly I don't give two ****s what you say or think about me. The people on this forum know that I'm one of the more helpful people on here and unless you're rude to me I'm generally quite polite and pleasant. However, when people are rude to me or start acting like idiots I'll be the first person to say something about it. As a result there's a few people who don't like me.

Also, I don't care what your "suggestions" are, I've been around long enough to figure this stuff out on my own. However if you're going to accuse me of anything, get the facts straight first so you don't look like a retard.

Thats All I've got to say, I'm done with all this nonsense. If you want PM me go ahead, otherwise don't expect me to reply to anything you say in this thread unless its relevant to the original topic.

 

Time to move on. I think this thread has ran it's course. One thing that gets under my skin is people who post just to stir the pot. So move on or take it to PM's.
