I am getting about the same.....takes about 20 gallons to do a fill up and I am averaging around 18 mpg....not bad. However, I used to drive a 4.7 V8 Durango...once rates the most inefficient in USA!

I've been hovering around the 16 mark now that it's warming up but that's all S&G city. Just a few weeks ago when the mercury was still in the - I dropped to 7.8 now that sucked big time

Last weekend I took a little road trip and I managed to squeeze out 23.3 mpg.
In the little over a year of owning my Jeep I've never seen it go so high and considering that I put on some 33" Duratracs and a TF 2.5 lift just before the winter, I think it's fair to say that my mpg gains are a direct result of the Flashpaq
