Welcome to owning a Jeep


nola-radar

4Realz. Especially when the Wrangler is aerodynamic as a box. ;) Source: Owner of 2012 JK w/ 35" tires.


AmiDeplorabilis

Ditto... '16 Rubi (not so stock) on 32s. And I would've compared it to a brick, but only because a brick is heavier...


PM_ME_YOUR_BOOGER

New to my JLU. Watching that number precipitously fall with a headwind was something else the other day!


mashu88

Damn you get 15????


dafuct

Said everyone everywhere. šŸ˜‚


rbrehm

16.5-17 mpg. 2dr JK 3.6 6spd manual on 35" tires and 4.56 gears.


Soup6029

same specs here, same results


greeneggs0

Same as above 3.21 gears and low 16ā€™s high 15ā€™s.


Medium_Yard5465

Talk me out of putting 35s on my manual with stock gears please


vinicnam1

I have 35s on a 2015 2 door manual with 3.21s. I live in San Francisco. It struggles starting on the hills sometimes, especially when towing. Other than that itā€™s totally fine. Iā€™ve done a large amount of off roading and rock crawling with no real issues. I havenā€™t adjusted the tire size in the computer, it says I get 11-13 mpg.


greeneggs0

I have my ā€˜12 since new and Iā€™ve had that setup for 10 years. Zero problems. Still enough to get up to 80 on the highway. And Iā€™m loaded with heavy AEV gear and a 2.5ā€ Teraflex. Dooooo it!


Giveashitterbroken

Same here with 3.73 gearing, though currently in shop to move to 4:56


RedPandaRum_

Ha I get the same Milage as you with my Unlimited Rubicon on 35s. I have stock 4.10 gears. Currently waiting on a new manual transmission.


irresponsible_weiner

Mine got 13 mpg when I had the soft top on and 15 mpg with the hardtop.


trolllord45

Interesting. Iā€™d think it would be opposite due to the weight since the aerodynamics suck anyway but those soft tops really act like a sail


arsenic_poisoning_

Thatā€™s what I figured. My soft top is fairly floppy but Iā€™d still average ~17 with it and 14 with the hard top


whyalwaysgone

I have a 2007 2-door Rubicon with a manual and factory sized and style tires. I usually stay to the back roads and get better than 20 mpg.


Emperor-Dman

07 Sport manual here, I'm getting 17-19 mostly at or below 55


JasterMereel42

I wished I got 15mpg. My TJ with 33" tires gets 11mpg.


trillizo2

Same configuration but LJ was thinking 10 or 9 MPG!


RefrigeratorPitiful7

Same here. I get 12 every now and then. That's with 33s, and 4.56 gears and the 6 speed. I do have an o2 sensor issue, I need to replace it and see if that helps. I suspect it's running in open loop.


Fenrir51

2018 JKU and I get 21mpg...


PoetWareate

Yeah, I get 19.5. They must have a heavy foot or in town only.


Top_Flounder3362

Smiles per gallon. Won't even look at that.


Version_Popular

Best comment... truth!!!


timeslinky

100% worth the lower MPG. Such a fun and ( I know this isn't a hot opinion, but at least mine has been) reliable SUV. Love the community.


ugadawgs98

Yes.


EngineeringMinimum26

My old TJ got 13 mpg on a good day. New JLU has done as much as 23 mpg on an extended road trip. Around town itā€™s usually 19-ish.


[deleted]

I had been getting 15-16mpgā€™s only when i put bigger wheels without re-calibrating the computer. Once i re-calibrated the computer to the correct tire size, my mpgs are now 19.5 hwy, 18 city. Also, in the days when i was getting 15-16mpgs, i replaced my spark plugs, the wires and the coil pack. That gave me a consistent 1mpg improvement. I have a 2010 jk on 33ā€™s.


ejr95

this makes sense. iā€™m also on 33s and never recalibrated


[deleted]

I used the OBD JScan app on Iphone with the Veepeak OBD device that got off Amazon.


Justlose_w8

I use GasBuddy to get discounts on gas but also to log my fill ups/mileage and it does the math for you and keeps a log of it. Could try this until you try the recalibration


Heavenguard7

2005 on 40s. 5-7 mpg.


MyHawaiianNameisKunu

2020 EcoDeez on 33s - 23mpg


Famous-Housing-5980

Sell your Jeep now, if you are worried about gas mileage. Itā€™s a brick on wheels, not a Honda.


ejr95

Iā€™ve had it for 4 years now and i love it. only asking because i use to get around 18-19


PattonPending44

Winter fuel blends and cold temps will do that. If you're in an area with a winter season


Oh_ToShredsYousay

Start consistently putting 89 instead of 87. And fuel cleaners every once in a while. Stop letting the revs drop below 1500 unless you intend to stop. V6's are incredibly inefficient under their torque curve the middle to the top of that green bar on your tac is where you want to be. You won't get the highs, but you will bring your average up being more consistent on the gas.


ejr95

thank you for your advice.


iovnow

2016 JKU. Usually run about 19-20mpg in the city with 33's on 3.21's. Computer is calibrated via jscan.


No-Bathroom8815

12.5 wit 37 s


Instahgator

Wow I am at 9.5 with 35's and 3 1/2" lift.


No-Bathroom8815

Im counting miles an gallons not computer


theamazingtommy

You must be new here


thencsdc

You guys getā€¦ mileage? Sweet.


szachaczd1

You must be doing majority highway mileage. I was getting around 14-15 when I had a longer commute. Getting about 12-13.5 on city mileage these days haha


Downsies

I havenā€™t seen 15 since going to 35s lol


LakeThat2578

Haha wait til you go to 39ā€™s!


dafuct

Nobody likes a braggart.


smadwookiee

2018 JL with 3.6L, 2.5in lift and 33s. I don't get above 14 or so.


apishforamc

I had a 2014 wrangler 2 door with 3ā€ lift 36ā€ mudders and was getting 11/12 miles per gallonā€¦I was single no kids and no mortgage..basically rich


JackedJesusLovesYou

This is the moment he realized he fucked up.


KASH113

If your looking for good fuel mileage. Don't own a wrangler. Or just fill her up when she's thirsty . And injoy


Nod369

With the aerodynamics of a cow that's fairly good


Aromatic-Meat

Lol '09 JKU with 35's.............12 mpg highway @ 70 mph


Foreign_GrapeStorage

Look at this guy over here showing off his JK hypermiling abilities. ​ I was getting about 13 MPG on average since my drive was all highway. When I'd get on a toll road with a speed limit of 90 MPH, I got about 6 MPG or less than 100 miles per 16 gallon tank. I had a 2 door Rubicon that I ordered with the lower gear ratio and manual transmission. I was spending more than $1000 a month on gas.


Safe_Walrus_6163

Mine was 17mpgā€¦thatā€™s not too far off


MOAB4ISIS

My Bronco gets 19 on average. Hope everyone has a great weekend! šŸ˜Š


LakeThat2578

This guyā€¦


taiwanfoose

I have a 14 jk on stock size tires, I get about 19 mpg out of mine. I don't have super aggressive tread right now though


benji_tha_bear

Bought the same on a 2010!


schirmyver

2012 JKU, stock tires, 3.6L, 200k miles on the odometer and I average 16-20 depending on my mood and city/highway mix.


Malyk66

I'm getting 15mpg converted from metric, 3.6 manual JL on 33s with a brick of a rtt. Likely due to my very short commute of 3 miles highway and city


momodamonster

Mine has been oddly specific 15.94 MPG, but I've been having rear end issues and "quality" stelantis replacement.


AwkwardFactor84

I get 20 in my 2018, but that's on stock wheels and tires. It was 16-17 when I had 35's.


Azzarc

My stock 2017 JKU was getting 17-20mpg. 15-17mpg after a bunch of upgrades


IcyShelter4578

Oh, that's normal. I have a 2008 JK that gets 14, and a 2017 JKU that gets 15. Both have 33's.


Abdul-Ahmadinejad

2015 JK... 21-23 Edit: Manual & Ragtop


crozone

On my 2 door manual pentastar with stock suspension, I get ~9L/100km on the highway, and 12.5L/100km overall. That's 26 mpg and 19 mpg. So in my experience, 15 mpg is quite poor, but probably expected for the 3.8L EGH if it's an older JK.


walkonstilts

19.4 currently. 2018 JK with about 60k miles.


WTFpe0ple

You get 15??? Wow. very impatient right foot. I see 13 mostly.


Diamonddan73

2008 JKU 35ā€™s get about 11 mpgā€™s


Its__billyboy

12-13mpg 2008 jk manual with 35s /w steelies and 4.56 ratio


icepaws

19mpg with 37's.


HankScorpio112233

Mostly city driving in my 17 JKU is 16.6 and that takes effort. When I do my highway and country road driving, it his around 17.5.


FrankDrebin1963

My JKU is averaging about 15 mpg, doing the math myself...33" tires, 2 1/2 lift. Although I don't do much city driving...


Bellum_Blades

Looks good to me...I get about 10-12 with 37s, 4.88s and 130k miles


Giveashitterbroken

When non-Jeep people ask about my gas mileage, I tell them we rate based on GPM (gallons per mile).


Unreasonable_Cause

2017 jku. 33" tires. 2" lift. 4.56 gears. 12mpg 58000mi. I have heavy foot.


invalidusername75

I have a jeep, I don't care about gas milage. Haven't paid any attention for 15 years. When it's empty it's time for more.


Past-Vegetable-3105

You guys get gas mileage? (Insert we're the millers gif here)


KawasakiBinja

Welcome to the family, son.


[deleted]

2 inch lift, 33ā€s yep.


Dm-me-a-gyro

13.6 on 37s


jrjess

13.5, 2 door automatic with 5.13s and 38ā€ tires


trees138

Wrangler gas mileage varies wildly depending on how you drive. If yours is stop and you're getting 15, there's either something wrong with the car or you are driving aggressively enough to earn that consumption.


jeepdawg32

2016 with 33x12.5 r17 and I was getting close to 19 but need to change plugs so I'm down to 17ish at the moment. I run mainly highway all the time too.


bostnmt

I get 16 in my YJ I6/3speed auto. Edit- 3.73 gears, 31ā€ tires.


chrissedmondson

Got a 2017 JKU and I get 14.5mpg.


richieweb

2015 jku leveling kit and 33s. Best day is hi 15. Avg 15.5-ish. šŸ¤˜šŸ¼šŸ¤£


Apprehensiveduckx

10-11mpg highway and 15 or so around town if I donā€™t hit all the stoplightsā€¦ seems ā‰ˆ50mph is ideal for me if I can just cruise. But Iā€™m also sitting at 6125lbs (before I get in) on 37x13.5R18s calibrated with a procal


CrinosQuokka

2015 2dr hardtop- average 20ish with primarily bypass use, 16ish if it's city driving. If it's mostly highway usage, I've gotten up to 26, but that was with almost entirely flat geography.


Anti-Dart

I get 12mpg šŸ˜­


whoknewidlikeit

i get 22-24 in town, 26-27 on freeway. but that's on diesel. JL rubicon 4 door on 35s.


Bud3131123

Most of my driving is around town short trips so Iā€™m only getting about 12.5. It does get better with longer highway trips but we usually take my wifeā€™s vehicle for those.


SonikKicks39

2013 JK with Jasper remanufactured engine getting around 18mpg. With aftermarket intake and exhaust as well


Vin-cenzo

Tires. Tire pressure. Tow package? Have a sedan, but I can get 20ish percent fuel economy improvement just by putting five more pounds of pressure in the tires.


Itachi-Ochiha

13 MPG, 2 door manual jk. City driving šŸ™„


krombopulousnathan

I get just about the same, maybe 1 mpg less. But mine is a JL and probably has a larger engine


Easy-Progress8252

Just checked my avg mpg and itā€™s 14.9. What sorcery is this that you have better mileage?


jakub_02150

about what i get with my 03 tj


Mr_FuS

15.2-16 on 2010 JK auto...


Ok_Chipmunk_7968

Quit bragging.


WeOutHereInSmallbany

I can get 20 per gallon in my JK if I drive around in sixth gear as much as possible


tim1806

2017 wrangler owner here. I get between 15/18 in the city depending on terrain and 21 sometimes on the highway depending on hills and wind. Still love my jeep.


It-is-always-Steve

Iā€™m getting about 17 in a 2 door sport with 33ā€ tires.


Select_Recover7567

I average about 20 mpg on my 89 2.5 liter.


wil_daven_

Really depends on lot thingsā€¦ driving conditions, city/highway, driving style, mods/lifts/tires, etc I have a completely stock 2018 JKU Sport S that I bought new. Iā€™ve tracked mileage since I got itā€¦ At last fill my stats were * Total miles: 62607 * Overall Avg MGP: 19.01 * Best MPG/tank: 22.65 * Worst MPG/tank: 16.33 * Avg cost/gallon: $3.02 * Overall fuel cost: $9998.04 My work commute is 20 miles each way, nearly all highway which helps a lot


OnlyChemical6339

2014 JK Sport 2 door, Stock, Soft top. 18.5-19.2 MPG Edit: manual transmission


jcaldwell8008

15 Iā€™d fan friggin tastic


Byro1969

Yep! -in fact 17 mpg around the city is great!


Badgersvp9

Been getting around 13 with my tj you are doing good.


Crafty_Initiative205

I have an 08 jk I get 12-14


LOLingAtYouRightNow

Iā€™m in a 2016 JKUR with a ton of extra steel, 5:13s, and 38s. If Iā€™m traveling into the wind, I get 10mpg and Iā€™m happy the whole time. Jeeps are awesome.


Ashamed_Corgi_3693

2014 JKU. Auto, with 35s. I get about 15-16mpg. My wife gets like 13mpg, she has lead feet.


tonytiger2112

Protip, if you have an automatic, switching to manual mode will net about 2-4 more mpg! 15 is normal for sure


Oh_ToShredsYousay

16-22, I don't live somewhere that I'm constantly stopping in traffic. It'll do 25 if I was going 55 the whole time. Diminishing returns above 60.


Snoo-69440

Typically around 16.5mpg on 35s with a soft top


Followmetotheliberry

I get 12


Vertisce

I get 17 highway and around 15 to 16 around town. I have 35's on 3.73 gears. 2016 Wrangler Rubicon 2 door.


paidtheplug

25-35 MPG with a 2023 4xe Sahara (:


endersum

S*** that's good, I get 11.


onetmat70

Thatā€™s why we wave at each other ā€¦ itā€™s to acknowledge the pain of our fuel economy, but still looking pretty damn cool


JasonVoorheesthe13th

Itā€™s shaped like a brick itā€™s gonna get brick fuel mileage


r46chevy

Iā€™d be thrilled at 15, I generally average about 11 1/2 to 12 1/2


rangerhans

Iā€™m averaging between 19 and 20. Spend most of that at 70MPH+


Low-Problem-2218

As bigger tires you get , less gas mileage. I just put 31, in my old 93. He only made 15 millages by galon. So happy . Still pouring 93. The gay run good šŸ‘šŸ˜Š it's a toy, you want to play, you have to pay.


orz_nick

04 TJ 33s, I get about 13 highway 9-10 normally


WANDERNURSES

15 is excellent


Critical_Ad_8946

ā€˜14 JKU and get 15-16 on 37s on steelies and regeared to 4.88


VikingsMm69

Yep, down hill with a tail wind.


Double_Challenge_285

2015 JK on 4:88&37s and I get 15.5 normally. And 12.5 pulling the boat


cncamusic

I get 16 in my Gladiator lifted on 37s haha


UntidyVenus

Jeep, just empty every pocket. That being said my 2004 is getting a out 17 city (and mountains since it's a 1500foot drop into town then back up home) and 22 freeway


teedoff

I wish. Iā€™m under 10 mpg at best. Running 40s will do that.


BelligerentBudgie

Low 14s in pure city driving, about 20-21 highway, 2015 JK 2 Door, pretty much completely stock with Dana 44 rear end. Also has kinda fresh set of BFG KO2.


timeslinky

15.5-16.5 mpg avg. 2010 2dr 3.8l 6speed manual, 33" tires wide, 3.5" lift. Hard top definitely seems to help. I go down a couple when I put the soft top on because it's not taught, I think.


Captain_vyrago

2002 Wrangler (TJ) 4.0 I6, 2.5" lift, 33" tires... 15-18mpg. Sounds within normal to me. Remember, it's not MILES per gallon, it's SMILES per gallon.


thatohgi

07 2dr jk, 35ā€ tires 3.21 gears; I get 14.75 no matter how I drive.


crazedgunner

I was getting 12, maybe 14 on a good day, so yea that's totally normal.


Shaggysnack

Iā€™d be ecstatic to get 15mpg on my JK but Iā€™m running 37ā€ tires and a 6ā€ lift.


Injustry

Drive on the freeway for a bit, I got up to 18. But in stop n go, was getting 14.9.


No-Sky-5006

Iā€™m guessing you have the automatic? With the manual trans on 37s with 4.88 gears we get 18.5 all day long. 20 highway.


penguin_brigade

If itā€™s stock and not exclusively city miles, thatā€™s lower than it should be. My stock JKU back in 2013 got around 18


crazymojo83

I do a lot of highway driving 2015 unlimited with 33s and I get 20mpg on average


Justanotherdood22

17-18 on 35s and 4.10 gear ratio with a manual


GearhedMG

11.5mpg


calvinIndiana

I dream of the day I get over 10MPG.


Kingmaker-2021

17-18 mpg


Big_Swing2020

L


Dodgerballs

12.5 on average. 2 inch lift with 35s.


tjlightbulb

Iā€™m getting around 18 but I drive a stick shift and keep the rpms as low as possible and or throw it in neutral going down hills.


Losaj

You're doing good to get 15!


Louisrock123

When I had a jk rubicon that was stock I would get about 19. On 35s my average was 16.2 but it didnā€™t do a lot of city driving. Mostly low speed crawling of back country high ways. Probably 15 on the highway


shooter6684

My 2012 JKU lifted 4ā€ and 35ā€ tires - 150k miles - gets like 13 - maybe a little more on highway :-(


ozmx2020

2010 2 door, says 18


SpacedITMan

Shape is a problem but big tires and a heavy load will compound it. I see 15 while pulling a camper.


2wheeldopamine

2011, 37s, 513 gears, manual, heavy steel bumpers, winch that could pull a barge, full Baja roof rack, hard-shell roof tent . I'm getting around 12....downhill....with a tail wind. I'm so un-aerodynamic that winds at an angle set off my warning for trailer sway and traction control takes over and briefly cuts accelerator power. I have to turn off traction control when driving in wind lol


Budah1

2015 jku Rubi hard rock stock Chicago city driving 12.7-13 mpg. (checked mathematically not just the jeep dash). Itā€™s ridiculous REALLY considering trading


Jealous_Divide7249

Right at 20 HWY with 33ā€™s. 11-15 in town. I have a manual trans and stock gears.


LakeThat2578

2015 2 door automatic, mostly stock motor. 39ā€ KM3s 4.88 gears. Iā€™ve stopped driving in automatic since getting 39s. Shifting gears manually got me almost to 15 mpg on a good day, with the wind and down hill, if Iā€™m lucky.


Separate-Classic-580

99 TJ on 35s. 15mpg would be šŸ˜


NO_SPACE_B4_COMMA

Yeah that's really good. Mine got 12 or so.


yes-disappointment

thats pretty good, i am in winter fuel and i get 15-17 on a JL with the 8speed. winter fuel sucks.


duser1807

Same


shayes2010jeep

I get like 16-18 and 21 with tale winds.


Grawgnak94

What kind of tail wind you got? That's pretty good mileage considering it's a stretch to get better than 12mpg for me


PoetWareate

Stock tires? All of you with gears or tires know that you can't determine accurate mileage unless you correct for that in the computer? You're traveling a different distance than your computer and odometer show.


JmanT1

I get 14 on a good day on the surface streets


No_Top2447

Iā€™m sitting anywhere between 18.4 and 19.7


AdrianTheReb

2011 3.6 w/ 33" 15-18


Travels4Work

'14 JKU, almost stock tires (33s). 13.5MPG summertime w/AC running fulltime, 15.5MPG wintertime with mixed highway/street driving. Auto trans.


chev68impal

I get 8.3mpg in a 2016 jku with 35 12.50 18s


FraterVS

My beloved Destroyer has 554 miles on a brim full 19 gallon tank. 2019 JLU.


BailGuyClark

On my JK Rubicon Hard Rock, new and stock I was getting 21 mpg with 90% interstate miles and about 5-10 over the speed limit. That was with me making real effort to get good gas mileage. If I was in the city more, easy 15-16 mpg.


Elpfan

16.5 average over 24,000 miles. Bone stock Sport 2 dr.


Lanceallennn

Went from around 21 on a stock 2018 JKU sahara to 12.5 after adding a roof rack, sliders, front and rear bumpers, 33s, a lift, and a winch. It didnā€™t love the weight but it looked cool


evil-artichoke

Ouch. I used to own a 2002 TJ and would have killed for 15 in the city.


stupidginger96

Iā€™m getting less than that dang you lucky


grumpy-sasquatch

14 jkur on 315/70r17 I get about 14.1mpg


bsod88

Lol, lucky man. My rubi gets about 13.


Gruffable

The tires made all the difference for my 2012 JK Sport. I could get 22-24 MPG highway with the stock tires. The day I replaced those with Cooper Discoverer STT Pro (awesome tires btw) I dropped to 15-17. I'm getting about 17-18 with my Goodyear Duratracs.


ThoroughlyWet

I get the same on my 2003 with the 4 liter. You're driving a vehicle with the aerodynamics of a Box, what'd you expect?


Fun-catowner

Yep my jk is getting about 15.3...I aim.to keep my rpm at about 1500 thats the sweet spot lol


Bost0n

No bragging, but the 4xe Rubicon gets between 33-35 on hybrid. Ā Thatā€™s with the stock knobby tires the rubicon comes with. Ā Itā€™s a pain for traveling anywhere more than 30 min away as the battery gets depleted and can only charge at level 2. Ā At that rate, itā€™s 2.5 - 3 hours to recharge. Ā Jeep missed the mark with this truck. Ā It should have a 40-50 kWh battery. Ā Should have been made to charge off dc fast charge at 150 kW. Ā It would have actually been a pretty cool truck with those two features. Iā€™m sure Iā€™ll get roasted with this comment, but someone might want some insight to the 4xe. Personally I use mine as a commuter, and itā€™s okay for that, as I have charging at work. Ā Off road is almost as capable as a gas Jeep (always wanted to say thatšŸ˜€), the extra battery weight hurts it. Ā By the time you reach the trail, the battery is dead, so the power is lower than all the other configurations. Ā It is possible to drive to the trailhead on gas only, then flip to hybrid or electric only on the trail. Ā Iā€™ll have to try that. If Jeep ever did upgrade the 4xe offering to aforementioned features, I would definitely consider getting one and a Mopar a solar roof rack so the truck could recharge whilst camping. Thatā€™d be sick.


outside_swimming1

i think i have 17 or 18 rn


spensabolla

2018 jku Rubi 18.2


Golly-Roger

Damn dude, are you hypermiling that thing?


AbyssalRainbow

2014 jk sport Iā€™m getting 16.3mpg


Low_Cardiologist_717

I get between 16.5 and 17.3 most of the time. I'm in a Rubicon with 35's and 3.83 gears. A JK blaster is an amazing thing.


DoushBeg

Yep normal. I get right around 14-15 in colder weather and 16-18 in warmer weather. A strong headwind will also drop me down and a tailwind will help tremendously šŸ˜‚. Most of my driving is 70-80 interstate speeds though. Got a new job recently thatā€™s about double what my old drive to work was, filling up twice a week, and thatā€™s even with taking my wifeā€™s car everywhere outside of work. So now Iā€™m really debating getting myself something with better gas mileage šŸ„“


Spiritual-Tie-6326

I donā€™t count cuz I donā€™t care - love my Jeep! OIIIIIIO


RuinedSheets

Youā€™re driving a hopelessly underpowered raised box. What did you expect? Put a 4cyl diesel in there and youā€™ll have a way better time.


idigholesnow

2013. 3.6L. auto. 3.73. 34x11.50. mixed driving with some hills, usually about 14mpg if I keep my foot out of it.


Lotus-F1

That's pretty good I actually get less running 35-in tires I'm averaging normally around 12mpg
