U got that right! I think just maybe we might be able to outrun one, but then again, probly not!

So i though this would be a good idea for a thread. Lets see how it ranges depending on where you live. Im pritty sure all the XJ since the late 80's have had the same size gas tank.

So tell us how much it takes to fill your XJ and where you live.

I'll start.

$43 in Clayton NC

about $35.00 for me here in MA at $2.39 a gallon

130 bucks, man i could never afford that. You guys must get paid better then we do over here. Thats crazy

I wish that were true dans01.. but my pay is pretty damn poor. I just love the jeep and couldnt imagine driving some little 1.0 litre hatchback. My wife has a 1.5 litre proton persona.. its a reliable little car, but when im driving it just feels like a childs toy.. rather have my greedy old 4.0 litre any day!.

Remember when gas was only $1.03?? Those were the good ol' days, eh?

Remember paying .95 a gallon for premium in 97-98 during the summer. But paying between 42-55 a tank full here in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
