93 Sport, 2wd 4.0 Auto 4.5 lift 31 bfg mt, 18mpg average have gotten 23mpg one tank cause i wanted to see what could get if i babied it. good to know when money is tight
All Stock 4wd 4.0 Aw4 3.55 gears, with 30" BFG AT's.
Driving to work and back, a half and half mix of city and backroads driving, I get around 18-19 if I drive her easy.
On a round trip all-highway drive from Denver to Cheyenne, I verified the distance with my GPS. Doing most of the trip between 70-80 mph, I got 21mpg.
On a day spent wheeling up trails like RedCone, and Radical Hill, with the trip there and back from East Denver, I still got 15mpg.
For comparison......
My Wife's 2006 Hyundai Santa-Fe 2wd 2.7 V6 AT gets avg 20mpg around town, and between 22-25 on the highway.
My '90 Yamaha FJ1200 gets about 40 around town, and 43-45 on a nice long backroads ride.
My 1995 Firehawk 330hp LT-1 5.7 6-speed MT 3.90 gears gets 19-20mpg around town if I baby it, and 26-27mpg on an all-highway trip if I keep it around 70mph.
Now I just need to decide if I want to freshen up my spare LT-1 I have sitting in the garage for the Jeep.........

I drive my jeep easy and I can get at best 18/19mpg. It's an 88 Pioneer on 33x10.50s with a 4.5" lift and a roof rack. Dispite what people say the rack didn't change the mileage. If I drive it harder I will get 12-14mpg on avergae. I'm just happy to get double digits. Our last truck was a 76 Chevy 454 long bed quad cab 4"lift on 35s. I was happy to get 8mpg haha

90 cherokee sport two door, 4.0, 5 speed, 3.07 gears, 235/70/15 goodyear wranglers. I get 15 to 18 in town and 20 to a best ever of 26 on the HWY. My jeep has 421,000 miles on it as of two weeks ago. I drive about three times a year 1800 miles one way between Missouri and California. this mileage is rock solid even with the AC running. My mileage does drop once I get a couple of tanks in Cali though, something about that smog gas.
