Sorry to say but I understood that the 07 Sahara was the only year to get the 4.10 after that it was a Rubi only option. ( I could be wrong though). I can definitely say my 07 Sahara Jku runs at about 2500 and I have the 6spd. I would kill to have my RPM's that low at that speed, and still have the offroad performance of the 4.10. So if it is a DD with little to no wheeling count yourself lucky. Cheers

Today pulled a 2500lb boat , 12 mpg at 65 mph, came home no boat 75 mph, 19.2. They say you can tow 3500 but that does not mean you should. Tugger was much happier coming home empty. (2011 rubi unlimited)

Calculated the last tank of gas.. my mpg was 19.8
3.21 gears, 285/70/17, Superchips, MBRP Cat-back, all on a 2-door
I was getting about 17 mpg before Superchips. If I calculated right, it will take about 15,000 miles worth of driving for the Superchips to pay for itself.

Gas Mileage & Tire Size
So, I never really worried about my MPG until gas prices hit 3.91 this week. I currently have a bone stock 2008 4dr sahara with 45000 miles and get about 15.2 at the most. On average about 13.4. What's your MPG? Any tips on improving your miles per gallon while this gas prices soar back up again? Even if my mpg was about 8 or 9, I would still drive my jk as my daily driver.

Calculated over all average over 63,000 miles for my '08 JKUR with 255/80-17 BFG MT is 17.32 mpg. This obviously includes everything, from trails to interstate, trailer towing and about two months of driving with a foul spark plug where my mileage was down to mid 15 etc. Let's see how my '12 will do in compare.
