1998 Sport 4.0L 5spd, all stock. I get pretty good mileage on the hwy 22-25, 22 if i'm doing 75 and 25 if I'm doing 60-65. When I bought the jeep in oct from someone in the city of Chicago the computer said like 17.6mpg. I've reset the computer and do about a 50/50 mix city/highway and my computer reads 22.1 now. I've check the computer everytime I fill up agaist miles drive vs. fuel used and it is fairly accurate. I think the 5spd helps out a bit though

I'm at an average of 17.3 city. The clock reads almost 294K on a '01 limited 2wd. I get 260 miles while filling the tank with 15 gallons. I don't take it on any highways back a forth to work so I have no avg for that. I am going to install a slightly bigger tire now that I lifted her so my city avg may drop.
