This is my gas mileage commuter, when I am not in my TJ. It gets 40 - 45 MPG. Not near as good off road as the TJ, but definitely better mileage on the road.
That's an awesome way to average out good gas mileage.This is my gas mileage commuter, when I am not in my TJ. It gets 40 - 45 MPG. Not near as good off road as the TJ, but definitely better mileage on the road.

A very uncomfortable one too... Ask me how I know, haha!
Honestly it is my daily driver, and I have had it for almost 10 years. Pretty used to it by now. It has just a touch under 40K miles on it.
You're a brave man! I've owned everything from a Ducati 999R to an Aprilia RSV4 Factory to an R1. I finally gave up on sport bikes after 10+ years. The riding position was just to taxing on my body (especially as I got older), especially when going through city driving in stop and go.
I have only ridden sport bikes. Other than I had a Harley Wide Glide for a short stint, but I started in the 80's with a Yamaha Seca, then went to an R6, then tried a Honda CBR1000rr Repsol, had that for almost 50K miles, and I tracked that for a few years, then this R1. My body is probably permanently stuck in the right position for a sport bike by now. I am over a half a century year old, but can't seem to stop riding. Maybe its the gas mileage?
Agreed. I retired my yaris ( 40 mpg) to buy the TJ. I got almost 19 mpg driving across Canada last year with a stiff tailwind at 50 miles per hour. Otherwise i find i can keep within budget by parking it.Come on now! Yall got it all wrong it's not about miles per gallon, it's all about smiles per mile!
Mines the same 19MPG is my best at 55MPH. 15MPG is typical with trailer. But mines my DD too.I got almost 19 mpg driving across Canada at 50...
Previous owner probably fitted larger tires without considering gear ratio.Newbie here, 98TJ 4.0, 5 Speed, got a "shift light" on the dash. Not like my old hot rod Chevy tack at 6800RPM. This thing seems to want me to always "lug" the engine, 13-1500 rpm. I kinda ignore it like a faulty Ck engine light. Stock everything, but are the 4.0's supposed to be lugged all the time at 1100-1500RPM? Does not sound right to me. Thanks
No. 2000rpm is kinda the sweet spot for cruising. 3000rpm is where they start to make power. I've never hit 5000rpm but on a long steep mountain grade the 4.0L will pull forever at 4000rpm. On a down grade, using the engine to hold you back, they don't develop any braking power until 3000rpm.but are the 4.0's supposed to be lugged all the time at 1100-1500RPM?
