My wife told me, we didn't buy a jeep for gas mileage.
She then said "when it is on empty, put gas in it and enjoy it". she is a keeper

The only other thing I can think of is that my fuel tank is not 18 gallons like it should be. My skid is dented up so maybe its not holding capcity anymore. I cheked milage by noting it took 1.25 tanks to go a certain distance. If my tank is holding less this may be throwing off my calcualtions. IDK. I already did the break in change and went with 80w90 convnetial oil front and rear.
Try disconnecting your battery for a while and reconnect may reset the computer and re-learn your driving habitats with the new gears???

We run 5.38s with 315 Duratracs. I can't hand calculate, but the computer says we get from 15 to 16 hwy. After the wife drives it to work for a week, it shows 14.
Hasn't really changed from stock, but the perceived (more) power is noticeable.

The guy was probably sitting there watching me, some drunk dude in green, crawling around his rig. If I remember correctly, which is challenging, he had an OME lift and yellow shocks, ARB diff covers, maybe a snorkel, maybe an ARB front bumper.

no JK stickers that I saw through.



That's hilarious that you know what I'm talking about...it's a big city.
wow shit...really creepy, at one point i was sitting right next to it right outside the bell in hand in my unlimited that night, it was a great rig it had mt snow stickers all over it too...surprised you didn't see me i was parked next to it for like 15 minutes waiting for my girlfriend

Post #1 in this thread.

He is referring to a poster above him that chimed in with something that has absolutely nothing to do with this thread.
