Default Fuel economy

Posted today on Yahoo. Is this article a little off on fuel economy, or is it just me? It's in kms./litre. Be great if the JK got those kind of numbers.

I think you should read the article right by moving the decimal point one digit to the left. A Ferrari getting 200 miles to the gallon.....I cant believe that this went past editing.

200 mpg for a Ferrari sounds pretty accurate to me. Nothing unusual about that, especially since most Ferraries are trailered for 198 miles for every two miles actually driven. Yep, that works out just about right.

I was getting 19-20 consistently with my stock 18" rims. I am getting my lift and new wheels and 33's on today so I will be curious about how much fuel economy I give up. No matter cause I will still be smiling.

Yeah, maybe the article took that into consideration.

Won't the hard thing be getting the odometer to work correctly with those size tires?
