Is this gas mileage normal?

[harbiison]

Hey All, Lately i’ve been making the Jeep my daily now since i got my license. I’ve done the math and I get around 240 miles on a full tank. Is this normal or is something wrong? I’ve been having to stop 2x a week now. I have a 4.0 with a 32RH. What do you guys get?

 

[RHanna]

I just calculated this a couple of weeks ago. 13.5 mpg on 35" tires and 4.88 ratio. I don't normally drive it over 55 mph, mainly around town.

 

[harbiison]

i’m looking at about 12.6mpg

 

[harbiison]

19 gallons i believe

 

[harbiison]

i had used my odometer and it took me around 120 miles to get to a half tank

 

[JESTER801]

On my next fill up I was going to odometer it and track it for the next few gas tanks. 35's with 4" lift I was expecting 12MPG

Do your calculation from what you actually put in (cus that's how much you actually burned). miles driven/gallons put in.

 

[harbiison]

Hahahahahahaha

Your gas mileage is fantastic compared to mine

what are you getting then? i’m scared to even ask lol

I got 13.7 mpg, calculated this morning. That's about average, with a mix of city, freeway, and rural highway on my commute. That's about average, it's usually 13.5 to 14.0.

The only way you should be calculating this is by filling your tank all the way up. Then reset you trip, empty the tank however far you want. Then refill, check how many gallons it took to refill and check your odometer. Calculate... Havent done it yet myself yet with correct speedo gear but I'll be able to soon. Glad I have about 3mi. round trip to/from work.

everyday to school is about 5-6 mi but i constantly go back and forth i’ve literally put around 1,200 mi in 2.5 weeks

I get a pretty steady 18mpg on 32”s with 4.10 gearing. Do the math as suggested above, but on 35”s your probably doing good. It takes a lot to turn 35’s

 

[Alex01]

12-13 mpg w/ 35's, 4.88, and a 5 speed.

 

[Claybirdd]

10 mpg here. 4.0 NV3550 with 4" suspension 2" BL on 35x12.5x15 with 4.56 gears

You can't trust the gauge.
Miles driven divided by gallons put in to fill back up.
At 12 - 16 mpg, who really cares what it is.

 

[N757KF]

4.0 liter, NV3550, 31" wheels, everything else stock
14-15 mpg mixed driving town/highway.
Highway only (2000 mile trip back from Texas) 19 mpg

 

[MichaelGH]

My ‘97 with the 2.5L Auto, 3.73 gears, 31x10.5 tires, soft top/half doors and mixed driving was 15.5 miles per gallon. Religiously...

 

[ejay]

That's better than mine. They call it a 200 mile tank for a reason.

 

[srimes]

I just got my jeep and have only checked twice, and I got 16.2 mpg on on a country highway and 14.4 in town. 99 4.0 ax15 on 35s.

 

[Mrholland]

I fill mine at 200mi, usually get between 12-14mpg, 35s 513s 42rle
