In my 2012 auto JKU with 3.21 gears.

Before lift, I was getting 16-18 city and up to 21 doing 75-80 down the highway.

After lift, 3.5" RK and 35s, I've been getting a consistent 14-15 city and up to 18 highway.

35" tires, 4" lift, auto tranny, 4dr, super chips flashpaq, stinger bumper/winch = avg. 14.5 city. Best avg in city was 16.8. Hwy avg. 17.2. Best avg on hwy was 18.6 (78 mile journey at 65 mph).

I've learned to deal with the low gas mileage. Besides, I enjoy the "that's a bad ass jeep, man!" compliments, at the pump every week.
