It's nice that the power went up 70hp. People don't seem to be mentioning that much. I just bought my first JK and I'll probably have to spend a grand or more in mods to get 290hp. I wouldn't complain at all if mine had that stock....

The window sticker says $3.00 per gallon. I'd like to know where the EPA is filling up, cause it sure isn't close to that around here.

The extra horsepower is good, but what RPM is the extra torque?

Base'd on fuel Economy alone, not much reason to trade in my 2 1/2 year old 09 JKU with 13,052 mile's on it for 2 mpg more. Compared to what my Window Sticker say's. And I do get the Combined Fuel Economy it say's: 16 MPG (+ or -) 1 mpg depending on how hard I am on the skinny. 3.73 gear's, 6 speed, 255/75R17 tire's

My Window Sticker info
