'07 2-door Sahara, 6-speed, 4.10's... Mods are only a small 1.75" BB lift and a tighter-mesh DIY grill guard. Currently running my soft top and rarely have a rear seat in. 97,000 miles.
Been running around on stock Rubicon wheels and tires for about 6 months. I was doing good seeing mileage indicated in the 22.x range. Normally saw between 20.5 and 21.5, reset at each fill up.
Just swapped on my stock Sahara rims and tires. After a tank and a half, I am now rockin 24.x for mileage. LOVE it.
I do like to make a game out of squeaking mileage out of the jeep, but I'm not obnoxious about it.
I drive a lot of highway - 65-70mph. Light foot it. No drafting. Anticipate stops, hills, and passing. No cruise control (good on downhills, bad on uphills). The occasional blast is thrown in to get ahead of traffic or whatever it may be. I'm always at least at the speed limit or with the flow of traffic.

If you couldn't tell from my previous post in this thread...I'm very detailed. Intake and dynomax exhaust installed at the same time and I've netted about 0.5-0.75 MPG higher fuel economy consistently. I can get you exact numbers if you'd like...but I'm at work and can't pull up the spreadsheet.
