Can people please post some real world mileage numbers for their JKs. I'm mostly interested in the new 2012 but I don't mind comparing against the older JKs. Please post in following example format:

Type: JKU or JK (Year)
Odometer: xxxxxx (for break in comparison)
Trans: Manual or Auto
Gearing: 3.21 to 4.10 or after market... 4.56+
Tire type & size: BFG KM2 35x12.50
lift size: 2.5" Rock Krawler

If you have anything else special like a 2010 with a RIPP than that would be useful info in the thread to... anything that adds a LOT of weight to your rig would be worth mentioning as well.

I've seen threads that ask for mileage... but it seems most of the posts miss the important info above that can give a better comparison. FYI I don't have a JKU yet... I do have both a CJ5 & YJ... thinking of trading the YJ up for the 5 seater... it would be as follows

Type: JKU 2012
Trans: Manual (If wife lets me get away with it LOL)
Gearing: 4.10 might regear... depends on 6th gear usability
Tire: Undecided... leaning to BFG
lift size: 2.5" or 3.5" Rock Krawler

MPG: 17.0, 15.8, 16.7, 16.2 on the first 4 fill ups, only 1200 miles now and a lift and 35's coming this week. Likely it will not get better.

Love it. Will like it better when I lift it and put 35s on it which I why I went with 4.10s. I held out for several years waiting for a new engine/trans combo.

Sounds like we are in a exact boat. Let me know what you getting and post pictures to me. Would love to see it how it looks.

I'm out out money right now after just picking my rubi up. Probably next year i can afford to do some upgrades
