I've got a manual trans and 3.21s as well and was on pace to hit around 450 mi. on road trip to NC back in the summer. I stopped and filled up when i was a little over 400 mi. I haven't even come close to that since. It's amazing how city driving kills mileage.

Your sig says you have a 2 door. If you got over 400 on a 2-door then that is damn impressive.

Uh, how is coasting with the transmission out of gear any worse for the clutch than with the transmission in gear? Now, I agree that riding the clutch is probably bad for it, but popping it out of gear shouldn't affect the clutch any. Hell, I usually don't even use the clutch to get into neutral.

Oh come on!! You don't have to "sell your soul" to get better mileage...just have to take those fat ass tires off!
I went from a consistent 17 mpg auto/stock rubi to a dismal 11 with all my mods. That is the price you pay for lookin' pimp baby!!

Picked up our 08 Unlimited Sahara with 3:73 - 6spd with stock 18's and the first tank.....710km/437miles on one tank 75L approx. 19.5 Gallons....This was 80% highway & 20% city works out to 10.4L/100km
Extremely happy with this mileage especially with 715km on the motor!!!! Can't wait till the motor breaks-in!!!!

OK, I just tried it...the best I could do was 315 miles to the tank, at 15.5 gallons to fill it back up, that makes about 20.3 MPG. This was almost all HWY, and mostly about 65 mph. '08 2door X with 3.21 rear end, and 32" tires.
