What a difference an oil filter can make

[ColoJeep]

Slick 50 plus STP.

Plus 75 p.s.i tire inflation.

The OP is not getting 30mpg. Nor did an air intake stop his engine from burning oil. He's either delusional or making stuff up.

You’re right. He said it was the oil filter.

That won't do it either!

My truck and TJ don't get 40mpg combined! lol come to think of it, none of our vehicles (including my work truck) could combine to get 40! Well maybe on a good day when the wife's GC gets 21-22 and then if I can squeak 19 out of my truck on a long road trip and keep my foot out of the gas

Milk Jugs make an airflow Cd. difference .

I agree.

 

[TJ Jim]

Which wife is that @TheBoogieman ? What kind of mileage did you get outta her?

"...Ive been getting over 40 miles to the gallon. In a 99 jeep wrangler 4.0"

"You are not getting 40MPG in a TJ."

"I am not getting 40MPG in a TJ."

"Your driving technique has nothing to do with it."

"My driving technique has nothing to do with it."

"you shouldn't try to defend your option on this matter. It won't work."

"I shouldn't try to defend my option on this matter. It won't work."

"Move along."

I wish. That one was made in Japan from high quality parts.

Amazing you can get 40mpg on a jeep that "Chokes and Dies!"

You don't calculate fuel mileage by guessing how much is left in the tank.

I was thinking the same after I checked out his other posts. I try to not stir anything up on forums(the Internet in general) but this feels very troll-like because someone isn't happy with theirs so they want to antagonize others. Maybe he'll reply and tell us he was just trying to give everyone a laugh??

I don't even trust the gauge to tell me how much is in the tank! lol I try to think of 1/4 as empty and not push it!

Man y’all are being to stinkin harsh on this dude. As you see in my pic my hemi Ram is getting 68mpg. Don’t know why you guys are being so mean.

 

[txbemis69]

They get great mileage because you have to push them everywhere!

luckily i’ve never had to push this one yet! the other one only had to push it once. they’re both more reliable than the jeep.

Just because I only got 8mpg going up that hill, doesn’t mean I wasn’t really getting 68mpg going down. Just like @bohuggabee your mileage may vary.
