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...

168K miles
16.5 mpg (pretty much split between highway and back roads)
Using airbox from an older XJ that pulls air from behind the drivers side headlight, K&N filter, bored TB, Ford injectors and Magnaflow muffler and hi-flow cat, a light foot
87 Octane (usually has ~10% ethanol)
5.5" lift & 33's
Also, even if you don't have great mileage, a wise man once told me, it's not about the miles per gallon, but the smiles per gallon, haha
