Did you adjust for the difference in the gallon? US gallon is 20% smaller. That'd put you at 16 MPG US.I checked mine over the weekend and I'm getting 20MPG on a stock 2002, 4.0 Sahara automatic.

It seems I screwed up the conversions from kilometers to miles and liters to US Gallons. I did it again and it came to 15.2ish. My speedo is in KM and I buy fuel in liters, so it's a little bit more complicated to get the gas mileage in MPG.Pretty impressive gas mileage then.
Since this post I replaced the 3” short arm lift with a 4” long arm lift, 3.73 gears with 4.88 gears, a cherry bomb type of exhaust (lift wouldn’t fit with the monster exhaust) and the 33 “ tires with 35” tires. I did reprogram the computer for the turbo. I still get 13 in town, but dropped to 15 on the highway. I now carry a gas can with a couple gallons of gas just in case when on the trails.2006 4.0 automatic with Banks turbo/intercooler and monster exhaust. 13-14 in town, 17-18 on highway. Turbo does not increase fuel economy, just makes the smiles bigger.
What is summer mix? Here it is 100% gasoline year round.15mpg around town on summer mix. 17.2 mpg on highway with summer mix. 4.0 liter 4.88 gears and 35s. It goes down a bit in the winter.
And you get much more fpg! Fun per gallon!Since this post I replaced the 3” short arm lift with a 4” long arm lift, 3.73 gears with 4.88 gears, a cherry bomb type of exhaust (lift wouldn’t fit with the monster exhaust) and the 33 “ tires with 35” tires.

Summer gas doesn't evaporate as easily, costs more to make and normally results in slightly better fuel economy. There's a map here that shows where you run into the stuff but the rules change pretty often and I don't know how current this is:What is summer mix? Here it is 100% gasoline year round.
I knew I should have bought a 4 cylinder.97 4-cyl 5-spd gets 20 - 22 mpg around town.
Oh! Living in Alaska, we only get the winter blend. It’s usually winter, just about winter, was just winter or that sunny warm day we all call in sick from work!Summer gas doesn't evaporate as easily, costs more to make and normally results in slightly better fuel economy.

I live right on the border between two zones which is great. The stations that sell the more expensive blend are forced to compete with stations that sell the cheaper blends so you can get the good stuff for less if you pay attention not that it matters much.
I hear you! I’m in maine. We get 9 months of winter and 3 months of piss poor sledding!Oh! Living in Alaska, we only get the winter blend. It’s usually winter, just about winter, was just winter or that sunny warm day we all call in sick from work!
i have basically the same setup and last tank was 16.25 and the one before was 17checked mine the last 2 fill up's. 1st was 20 and 2nd was 17. now i dont push it hard, have 32's and 3.07 with 5 speed 4.0. i'll keep checking it the next few tanks and see what it averages over a couple tanks....
Easy fix! just talk to 99.9% of the world lol, what are you getting per litre? I am only getting 6.5 ish so way down for stock wheels/tires on long gearing, I believe you are about the same.It seems I screwed up the conversions from kilometers to miles and liters to US Gallons.
