M.P.G.
 
What kind of MPG are you getting
I am running 4.10 gears and 31x10 tires 4.0 motor
and I'm getting 12 to 13 mpg is this about right
should it be more like 15 to 18
just asking so I don't go looking for problems I don't have
or maybe I do if 12 to 13 is bad

stock, 5 speed (though I only use 4), 4x4, with 4.0... If I keep my speed to about 40-45 I can usually get 18-19.. This is mostly driven to and from work with stop light/signs every mile.

What kind of setup do you have that your getting those numbers?

mike37 Nov 18, 2008 06:07 PM

best I get is 13 city 16 hwy

so maybe I need to look at fuel pressur
have any of you guys changed injectors
I found lots of talk about it but no results

XJ?2010 Nov 18, 2008 06:11 PM

yeah i think you should be fetting more then that considering you have re-geared

Im getting aroung 18 mpg with 35's and 3.55 gears but it stays in drive not o/d due to not enough gear for o/d

That's on my lil stock '92. Just rollin' in 2WD with 38psi F/40psi R in summer.
I'll usually drop the air to around 34psi in winter and mileage stays the about the same until I throw it in 4WD.
Now, the '98 with the weird MAP sensor and the 31's on it gets about 12-15mpg city.

How are you figuring those numbers? Have you put in a new speedo gear to compensate for the bigger tires?
