I use a calculator and the gas receipt. EVERY tankful is calculated, and comes within 0.1 MPG of the onboard MPG computer. Last Friday it was exactly one year since I took delivery and I now have 22K miles.

Yes, there are times when I get around 16.5 MPG, and usually when that happens, I'm pulling weeds and branches out and washing mud from the undercarriage afterwards.

I watch my speed, I don't do jackrabbit starts, I get off the gas in plenty of time approaching red lights and stop signs, I don't tailgate tractor-trailers, and I have zero complaints about my JK's performance or economy. My YJ, on the other hand, really sucks gas.

Driving habits and topography have a lot to do with MPG.

2009 6 speed manual
TF 2.5" lift
315/75-16 A/T's
3.73 gears (currently)

So long as I'm really paying attention to my driving I'll average in city about 15-16mpg and 17-18mpg highway. When I was running stock though 17/19-20mpg easily... And I hate the mountain pass and wind!!! Just saying...

what do you all think about the accuracy of the MPG computer that calculates all of this? Somedays it'll say 13 others 15.2 and some even 10.
