We had a guy this weekend complaining that he only gets 16-17mpg city and wants better mileage. We told him he's got great mileage cause we all get about 10-12mpg.

if he's complaining about gas mileage, why is he driving a jeep? seriously, we all know the gas mileage on these things is not good. I'm trying to buy another car that DOES get good mileage so I can save the jeep from so many miles (make it my weekend warrior!) and save some money in the long run.

I tend to mash the gas once a day, in the morning, getting on the highway. I like to think it keeps crud from building up in places. Lol
However, I only hit like 3-3.5k.
I've only hit 5k once when I was wheeling my 91, I forgot I was in low and gunned it. It still runs.
No need to hit the limiter all the time, its not a Ferrari. Power is down looow...
