318 right as the fuel light came on. So maybe that's more like 19ish but still.

HAHAHA! In a world where almost 20 mpg is astonishing...

Yeah, mine would consistently get 22 mpg when it was stock w/ 235s and 3.07 gears. I just expected the regear, lift and 31s would drop it down to regular XJ status. I can deal with 19-20. Yay manual I suppose.

My 98 AW4 equipped Classic would get about that. Sometimes better, sometimes worse. I was also in highschool and drove with concrete in my shoes.

Installed a new blower motor and blower switch. Mine decided to die 2 nights ago during a snow storm. Just a tad cold riding with the window down to keep the windshield defrosted.

Yeah I drive up a pretty long grade every day coming from school and it sucks up the fuel. Hopefully these new plugs will help. The old ones had a .050 gap about

Looks like Adams driveline brand. The symbol at least. If it is, guy from my club ran it and he isn't easy on it at all and it holds up well

A lot would depend on size of gas tank. 15 gal tank that's great miles. 35 gal tank not so much.
