Just thought I'd like to boast I filled the jeep up.. For the first time in months.. Gas dropped to 3.69 a gallon.. Sure beats the $100 fill ups.. I can remember paying 4.8? A gallon last yeAr

$100? The most I've ever paid to fill mine up was $62 and I had to have been on fumes. Plus I'm in the Chicago area where it's never under $4/gallon. Although I just checked my build thread it says I am "supposed" to have a 20 gallon tank but I don't see how that is possible

Maybe cause the gauge isn't entirely accurate?? XJ gauges are more unreliable than Obama's promises

3.69? Lucky duck. I filled up yesterday at $4.55 a gallon. But with the fire in the San Francisco oil refinery, that's about to go up drastically. Probably has already but I close my eyes as I drive by gas stations cause I don't like to know

You don't know how lucky you are, fuel here is like £6.37/$10.28 per gallon.
Maybe now you see why we have turbo diesel 2.5 and less 4.0 xj's.

Mine is over 6 gallons off. On the bright side I don't have to worry about running out of gas, I drove 120 miles through BFE Nevada with my empty light on.

Just to really wind myself up to completely fill tank works out at $148 wishing I hadn't looked at this thread now.

True, But given the choice as daily driver at over $10 a gallon would you not consider turbo diesel if available?
I would love a 4.0 litre nearly bought one other day it had the gas not Gas conversion.
