You still are paying on the Jeep and all it's costs and the bike. Financially I don't think you are saving anything.
I was a rider many years ago and it was not cheap to own one, it was only cheap on gas. You guys love to ride. If was was your only mode of transportation, you would be saving.

To hell with saving fuel. Drive it like you stole it but try to be safe. It's a jeep an jeeps are meant to be used and abused. Let the guy who buys it after I'm done with it restore it, baby it and bring it back to it's showroom shine. We all knew we bought a jeep not because of it fuel mileage but for what it can do. hallelujah and amen and where the hell is my beer?![beer](https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/images/smilies/beermug.gif)

I usually get around 100 miles to the gallon. I get in the jeep, tie up my running shoes, get out and walk to the store. Its this crazy new gas saving idea I cam up with. Keep an eye out for my informertial on the lifestyle channel at 3 am!
In all seriousness, be easy on the pedal and sit behind another truck/ car if on the highway (DO NOT tailgate, just drive behind at a safe distance). My other car would gain about 3-4 mph if I cruised a few car lenghts behind another person rather then always being the head of the pack.

Don't forget that if you have a flashpac, you can set the throttle response.. I think I have mine on either low or moderate.... but when I first installed it, had it on high. Makes a big difference. Just be easy on the gas. I averaged 18.5-19 mpg on a recent trip down to Rehobeth Beach and back, and that's with around town driving mixed in while I was down there... With my 6 mile commute to work I could stretch one tank over 2 weeks, yet would average 15 mpg, figure out what works best for you.
I've got an unlimited sahara, 33's, flashpac, 3" spring lift, drop in aFe filter and aFe exhaust system. 4.10s Automatic tranny

Just read through this thread, i'm suprised there was nomention of throttle body spacers or underdrive pulleys (if there even available).. So the best bang for the buck intake is ???????<--- fill in the blank..
Time to start shopping i guess.
