35's on 3.73's and Superchips flaspaq. Getting 12-15 mpg. I wouldn't worry about gas mileage, you own a Jeep.

Yeah not bad at all, it's been pretty consistent since I had my gears installed. Heck my 00 xj on 31's only averaged around 17 so I'm happy with the jk

Let's see, 35's and 5.13's and i get a wide swing in MPG.

If I feel a bit of a heavy foot and have a little fun in town light to light, 12-13.

If I drive it like gas was $4 a gallon, no wait....., I get 14-16.

On the highway at 65 I get almost 19 and at 75 I get 17 and at 80 I get 14.

I just try and remember that I am driving a really cool assume red brick down the road and it is good.

Gears really helped as I won't tell you how it was before......
