After a month of commuting on mixed hwy/city, I'm getting 23.6mpg imperial or 19.65 U.S. mpg on the 4 cyl SE. A fair mix of hills and some wind off the lake plus it's winter (we've had a cold sh*tty winter). It's a 35-40 minute drive each way and I can do all 5 days of the week on a tank of gas and still have 4-5 gallons left until it's dry. I can live with that.
Leave the top and doors on and treat it like anything else you want to get better MPG out of, add upgrades that help put more air through the engine and burn the fuel better and you'll go farther per gallon.is it possible to get better mile per gallon from jeep wrangler tj??
One time, I was trying to see how good it could do, so I drove through a tank full over fuel, taking off from a stop incredibly slow, coasting anytime I was approaching a traffic signal, avoiding the brakes,and got 16.1 mpg. I just ended up pissing off everbody on the road, and at one point was ready to kick my own ass....never again.
My wife, during the week drives her Dodge Journey with the 3.6 Pentastar, short trips around town. I checked her MPG according to the dash read out, 14.2 mpg. My TJ gets a constant 15.
We took a 100 mile trip last week, and I reset the MPG read out, and the Journey showed 26 mpg, but on short trips the TJ wins.
most JK drivers don't appreciate the Wrangler, and some our snobs. It's weird. Not all, but some... most?
I saw a white JKU the other day with a soccer mom driving a Jeep full of little kids with all 4 doors removed, and she made sure all the kids inside waved to me as we passed. It was hilarious and adorable!Is is "snobby" or that many aren't "Jeep" people? I see lots of them, more of the 4dr, with soccer moms driving. The 4dr is the new Tahoe to many folks, not a Jeep like we see them.
My wife has two important peddles. A go fast and a brake hard. Her mpg is always 2-4 under mine plus her mpb (miles per brakejob) is about 30,000 less. I have learned to not coachI think you might want to do another comparison test and leave the wife out of it.
My lady gets 28mpg in the Elantra while I get 41mpg when I drive it. Ladies tend to have a heavy foot.
thats hilarious and sad all at the same time. i feel for ya brother:argue::argue::argue:
