I dont even bother anymore.. when the gauge hits "E" I pull to a station and fill it up. dont even bother looking at how much it costs or the mileage im getting.. If I knew then I would have to worry about it.

$70.00 (fill) every 2 days like clockwork. Oh well it's a Jeep it's worth it to not drive a gay little car !!

they will usually get worse mileage in town when they are new...

all 3 of my JK's got TERRIBLE in town mileage till I got between 3000 and 5000 miles on them... im thinking they are de-tuned for break-in or such....

I notice in my new 2010 that each week I drive it.. driving the same places and such and my mileage is going up a bit by bit each fill-up.. im at 3500 miles now..
