Default Cherokee MPG Poll

I am trying to get some accurate MPG numbers for our XJ's. I have a quick poll that asks basic info about your Cherokee and what MPG you get. I have also created a page that will display the data so you can see what kind of MPG people are getting.
I will update the results page as we get more data to show what kind of mileage people get with different setups.

Here is the poll

Here is the results

That was me. Idk how to explain but I'm only on the highway when I take road trips (ex: 2 hours to raush creek or wildwood. I live near philly) and every time I get about 29. On our trip to rausch creek last month my parents took their JK. we both left the house with full tanks of gas. When we got there my parents had half a tank left and I still had a little more than 3/4 tank. Same thing happened when we went to wildwood a couple months ago.

29 mpg seems a little high. I would have to see physical proof of that one. I have a '99 and I only get about 16 all around and if I drive mostly on the highway I am lucky to get 18.

The 30 mpg was from somebody with an 89 cherokee. Maybe they were just more efficient.

I was able to make it from wildwood, nj to philly on just a 1/4 of gas. The only time we stopped was so my mom could put gas in her jk

I went by the fuel gauge and knowing my tank holds 20 gallons. At the the time too I had 215/75s on it. I divided the milage on the trip meter by how many gallons I used. Not how many I put in. I've never been good at math so it wouldn't surprise me at all if I was wrong. I did think I got an unusually high number but at the same time I didn't really care because 99% of my driving is city and I get 11mpgs there.

Submitted but it was from a few years and less mods ago. Only one I've ever done.
