09 Unlimited Rubi with automatic, stock tires, stock gears. Agree that it is important what vehicle is used, 2door and 4door have different sized tanks, and tire size, lift, etc.
I get 330-360 miles on a tank mixed city/city interstate driving. 400 is a safe bet on an all highway trip.
When I first got the Jeep I was getting around 210-220 on a tank. Lowest I saw was 12.9 mpg on the computer, on the highway - about 3 weeks after I bought it. Break in brought it up to close to 300 in the first 5 or 6,000 miles for sure, and it went higher slowly after that. I think that Mobil 1 (probably any high quality synthetic would) has helped being in the transfer case, diffs, and engine. Also, I keep my tires at 50psi when I am driving on the road. And except when I need to get in a lane or something I don't mash the gas. The jeep is so heavy and the power just enough that it isn't worth getting up the interstate ramp (or to the next stoplight) in 27 seconds instead of 30.

Please be very careful running your tires at 50 PSI is very dangerous. That is not the recommended PSI for your stock tires. You can easily have Blow out doing 70 MPH.

3.21 Gears
6 Speed
Rubicon tires (255/75/17 KM's)
This is my daily driver. I average ~19.5 mpg over a tank. That's calculated manually. I was running 87 octane, but I have recently switched to 89. Since the weather has been changing so much lately I can't tell if it is any better or not.
