View Full Version : gas milage??? Rawkon 05-11-05, 11:12 AM hey guys whats everyone gettin on there jeep?? something is up with mine, i just got 117miles and i have a little less then a half tank. Old Fart 05-11-05, 11:17 AM I get about 200 miles to a tank nagal 05-11-05, 11:23 AM I think last time I checked i was averaging 14mpg if the wind was not blowing hard. Old Fart 05-11-05, 11:31 AM Seems to me the last time I actually filled it up and checked it (it doesn't get used as a DD), I was in the 12-14 range. Of course, the damn thing weighs as much as Rhode Island, with similar aerodynamic characteristics :) sarah 05-11-05, 11:52 AM My aerodynamic brick gets about 200-220 ... depending on which way I'm going on the hills. :) cbremer 05-11-05, 12:48 PM 14-15 MPG :( damn heavy groceries IVasty 05-11-05, 02:13 PM i get 260 to 300on mine D4x4Fish 05-11-05, 03:01 PM With my top off and my rear sail up (spare tire) I get 200 miles a tank (not 200 1/2). Its my daily driver. Kaffa 05-11-05, 03:11 PM I get about 200 miles to a tank same... a little less then that. 180-200 Old Fart 05-11-05, 03:21 PM I figure between the Dana 60, Dana 44, corner armor, York, air tank, rear rack, 35's, full cage, 1/4" thick bumper steel, rocker guards - I'm basically dragging a Sammy around with me. Will be worse when I go to the T176/Klune/NP205 - I think the 205 weighs as much as the entire Jeep does now :0 Real world - if mileage is your goal, it will NEVER get better than you get with your jeep stock. Virtually _everything_ you do to make it more trailworthy will take you in the wrong direction mileage wise. Why I drive the Boxster to work - 24 mpg :) Rawkon 05-11-05, 06:17 PM cool i just wanted to make sure im not way off the mark. this is the first jeep ive owned. my other vehicles are all trucks. JeepJunkie 05-11-05, 07:08 PM last fillup i got 180 miles on 16 gallons of gas which is about 11mpg. kinda crappy id say, i think its worse than my moms Durango with a big V8. but i guess 3.07 gears + 31" tyres + teenage driver :eek: = Bad gas mileage Bachman 05-11-05, 09:30 PM I am right there at about 200 to 220 per tank... but hey it's a Jeep, not a Geo Metro. Rawkon 05-11-05, 11:49 PM it is kinda sad when my truck http://offroadworld.tenmagazines.com/gallery/Rawkon/134785.jpg with a 5.9 almost get the same mileage as the 4.0 jeep jmbrowning 05-12-05, 12:28 AM My CTD one-ton dually gets better mileage than my Jeep and it's not even close to broken in yet. ~16-17 empty highway. ~14 empty town. 'Course it's stick and I tend to keep RPM's around 1400-1600. The speedo is all messed up of course between the regear to 4.88's and the 33's. I figure I am overestimating my mileage substantially. Figure 6-8 mpg? I need to go to 35's so that I can drive this thing without refilling every four blocks. :) |
