I don't care what anybody says mine gets better mpg in higher altitudes. Yes I've had a couple beers but i have had my best mpg in Colorado and New Mexico. Someone tell me if I'm wrong on this

2012, 3.6L, 4.88's, BFG KM2 37x12.5R17's, and i get 17.3 mpg driving to and from work everyday. 12 miles each way, speed is around 55-60 mph.


Waiting for RIPP to release SC and I'll be adding it. Jeep has plenty of power, i just always want more.

Do you have Manual or Auto? I'm thinking of gearing to 5.13's will be running Hutchinson Beadlocks (55lbs each) and 37's. Would you do 4.88's again or 5.13's. I'm not 100% sure what I'll do, any advise would be great
