no clue. I have not dd a xj in 5 years and that was stock at the time. if I was to guess I would say 1-3 mpg difference. never check my mpg in my rig, it would be to depressing. good thing its only a toy for me

Complete offroad has carriers for $59. It's made by Yukon. Sometimes you can find them a bit cheaper on fleabay. Spiders will cost extra but you can use the ones you have in the old carrier.
