Default who is getting awesome mpg in there xj?

this may have been done before but im curious to know this..
list the following:

year of jeep
miles on the odometer
your mpg
mods you have done (ie cold air, throttle body spacer, etc..)
what octane fuel used usually
other info (kind of oil used, fuel injector cleaners, spark plugs etc..)

i know jeeps are not made for mpg...but im curious..

cheers fellow jeepers...
