I just passed the 1000KM mark today in my unmodded JKU auto..... my calculations (converting l/100km) give 17.42 mpg....which I am pretty pleased with.... I do some highway ...but when I use it I am lucky to get to 60mph ....and more often traveling between 20-40 mph...
Some of this may be due to the fact that it's a new car and I am less apt to put the pedal to the metal.... especially as there isn't much response when I do
I'm thinking of a CAI mod asap for the minimal power improvement..... I know it's a bit off topic, but I do feel more inclined to just mosey along in the JK....it just makes me feel less hurried....

Stock 2011 Rubi Unlimited, 6sp, 4:10's
I average 15-18 in town, on the road I get 20-23, on hills it will sometimes average 16-18. (Still better than stock advertised for the JK)
I saw the online ad for a performance chip from SLR Motorsports, promised increased HP, TQ & MPG. It was only about $60.00, I figured what the heck if it increases mpg, I could use all the help I can get so I ordered it. Put it in and as far as the "performance" side of it (HP & TQ) not really sure if it did much to improve that but it did increase the MPG's which I figure is more important to me being as our Jeeps are basically rolling bricks.
