Do you have an XJ or ZJ? My old 90 XJ 4.0 manual that I used to have would get around 20mpg (combo highway and city). My 95 ZJ 4.0 automatic gets around 18mpg (combo highway and city) when I'm easy on the throttle. When I'm heavy on the throttle it will go down to 12-14.

Trip computer told me 23 mpg yesterday on a nice 50mph run - covered 45 miles. I LOVE mine the V8 Discove*y - sorry could not bring myself to type all the name - did 6-14.5mpg and that was with all new factory ignition and a perfect tune.
