I have found my MPG's take a major dump in the winter when the temp goes down. I go from getting like 19 to 15 summer to winter. I have ran Mobil 1 5w30 from the day I bought the jeep. I getting ready to change over to 5w20 for the winter to see if it helps.
I have also notices keep RPMs under 2,000 helps a ton.

even lifted with 35s, I am getting more than 200 miles to a tank. That sounds horrible. I'd have to assume something else is wrong. If it's still under warranty, I would go in and make them check it out. And get all the TSBs done while you are in there. A recent computer flash upped my milage a bit.
