And that seems about right....Because I figured out, its about 220 for mine.
yes and no. my motor sergeant has a 91, and it gets 20 mpg stock, at least that's what he told me. another old friend of mine from college just lifted his 94 and he gets 240 miles per tank on 31's without the speedo error, so that's about 265 miles.

It may actually be a little more....but I settled on the lowest number, just to be on the safe side.

I "rough" guessed it by driving a known distance, "point-A" to "point-B", which used a 1/4 tank, then times it by four. Of course this is all based on how accurate my fuel gauge is as well.

I just wanted a rough estimate, wasnt really looking for anything definite.

I also have one of these TB's from stroked jeep. Cant complain at all about it. I asked Jeff if he could cut the top bar out of the TB and he also made a brass butterfly for only a few bucks. I DO get a whistle at a certain rpm when accelerating, but nothing intolerable. I cant say i noticed any change in MPG.

Great guy and responds quick with his emails. Id recommend one to anyone who would like a bit more throttle response.

there is a huge difference in gas mileage between the older and newer jeeps. also between stock and modified. my wife's 95 got 21 all the time and it was stock. this one stock, got about the same as it does now. its about the fuel injection mostly. i have the oldest version of the fuel injection, you and your motor sergeant have newer versions of the injection system.

Totally agree.
This is what I meant by his being 12 years newer.
Since our Jeeps are both Renix Jeeps, and Turals is undoubtedly OBDII.

Yup. I did some reading on the different injection systems and our renix system is the only bjeep injection system that will actually get better mileage because of high octane gas. The knock sensors let it really run leaner on high octane versus the newer injection which runs off a map for most of its usage time
