Driving in Chicago traffic would definitely ruin your mileage. Don't miss that place at all!

If you're getting 14mpg and stock, something is wrong with the Jeep.

That's all city, no hwy.

Last year with two (more so rural) combined, 19-21 driving like there was an egg under the pedal.

My last tank was 13.8 but had the wrong speedo gears so I know it did better than that at least.
