Mostly I get now about 17, I have a K&N installed but that dosnt help much. I can get 18 on the freeway doing exactly 65 light on the gas. When I go that slow here in SoCal, everybody speeds by me and flips me off.

running 35's with 4.10's on 17in Beadlocks and I'm getting at best 17 but my average is about 15.5 (2012 Rubicon). I have a 3in lift with bumpers and I used the AEV procal to recalibrate so I am really happy with my gas mileage.

I have about an 11 mile commute on a 2 lane road, 55 mph with one redlight. If i drive a whole tank just back and forth to work i get 18.4. When i mix in more city stop and gk it drps down to 17 mixed. I get about 16 on yhe interstate depending on how fast i choose to go. There is a huge mpg gap between 77 and 70

I guess the hills must be it. One time the computer told me I averaged 17.5 on a 60mile trip down to Dallas. That was with a good 20mph tailwind the whole way though

To add, I say go 15" if you can find the tire you want in that size...you're talking upwards of hundreds of dollars difference er tire...If I had gone even 16" with my 35" MTRs, I would have paid over $125.00 more per tire!! and over $150.00 more had I gone 17"...It's pretty ridiculous really.

I have '12 rubi w/ 4.10s & 35" km2 6sp. I consistently average between 17.2 and 18.1 depending on amount of off road, city, and freeway driving. Speedo calibrated w procal and mileage figured by calculator. On board comp calls slightly higher.
